The investigation showed that in Bellmawr, Police Chief Edward Garrity, a police officer, and a court clerk were involved and in Barrington, three police officers were involved in fixing tickets.

Before being questioned all the employees are warned of the following:
• Anything said may be used in a criminal proceeding;
• The privilege existed to refuse to answer if the answer would tend to be self-incriminatory;
• Refusing to answer would cause a removal from their office.
