Attorney General Addresses Allegations Against Law Enforcement Leader

**Trenton, NJ** – The New Jersey Attorney General, Matthew J. Platkin, has issued a statement concerning allegations against Lt. Colonel Sean Kilcomons. Platkin stated that if the allegations are substantiated, such conduct is unacceptable in law enforcement and society.

Platkin announced he has recused himself from the investigation related to these allegations and will reserve judgement until it concludes. He emphasized the importance of never tolerating antisemitism or any form of bias.

The Attorney General voiced concern over how leadership often dismisses bias claims when the accused hold power. He noted that failing to adequately address such allegations sends a discouraging message to victims.

Drawing from personal experience, Platkin shared that he has faced antisemitic slurs, which motivates his commitment to combating bias. He expressed disappointment that a law enforcement leader might have harmed his son and emphasized the need for societal change to prevent acceptance of such conduct.
