NEWARK, N.J. – A former Jersey City police officer was sentenced today to 23 months in prison for accepting approximately $55,000 in corrupt payments in exchange for helping employers operate at worksites without the required presence of an off-duty police officer and...
for helping a police officer obtain compensation for off-duty work he did not perform, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.
Anthony Iannicco, 49, of Jersey City, previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge John Michael Vazquez to an information charging him with one count of conspiracy to commit fraud & accept corrupt payments. Judge Vazquez imposed the sentence today in Newark federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:

Iannicco was a police officer with the Jersey City Police Department (JCPD) from 1995 to 2016. From 2008 through 2016, his duties included serving as the “assistant pick coordinator”...
for Jersey City’s West District. As the assistant pick coordinator, Iannicco assigned police officers to off-duty details.

Under Jersey City’s municipal code, off-duty police officers were not permitted to receive cash payments directly from off-duty employers.
Rather, the employers were supposed to pay Jersey City, which would then pay the off-duty police officers, minus certain fees, taxes and deductions, including an administrative fee payable to Jersey City per hour that the off-duty police officers worked.
Iannicco conspired with numerous employers to cut Jersey City out of the process of hiring and compensating off-duty police officers. Generally, Iannicco permitted these employers to operate at worksites without the presence of a police officer when such a presence was required.
In exchange, Iannicco accepted cash payments directly from these employers in violation of Jersey City rules and regulations.

Altogether, from 2011 to 2016, Iannicco collected payments of approximately $55,000 directly from off-duty employers and a conspirator.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Vazquez sentenced Iannicco to three years of supervised release and ordered forfeiture of $55,000 and restitution of $219,196.
U.S. Attorney Carpenito credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Gregory W. Ehrie in Newark, with the investigation leading to today’s sentencing.
JCPD is cooperating with the investigation.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Vikas Khanna, Deputy Chief of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Criminal Division in Newark.
