 Kleiman is NOT a Covered Person - working part time for the SPCA for less than 2ys and leaving with questionable Police retirement credentials obtained using the same honesty he used to obtain his security license doesn't make him a retired cop.  Graduated the Police Academy 2017 at age 47? and retired in 2018? Really? 

 In New Jersey, a retired  police officer is a former sworn member of a state or local police  department who has separated from the service, typically by attaining  mandatory retirement age or other conditions of the Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS), and receives a service retirement allowance or pension. While  no longer an active law enforcement official, a retired officer may  retain certain privileges, such as firearm carrying rights under the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) and the state's Retired Police Officer Program (RPO) 

OR to be more official for the lawyers:

 43:15A-99. Retirement 

A member who has attained the age of 55 and who immediately prior to  retirement has 20 years of creditable service as a law enforcement  officer, shall be eligible for service retirement as a law enforcement  officer. Any member in service who is a law enforcement officer at the  time of attaining age 65 years shall be retired on a service retirement  allowance forthwith or on the first day of the next calendar month, as  is determined by the board of trustees; provided, however, any law  enforcement officer who is a veteran shall not be retired at age 65  years if he does not have 20 years of service in office, position or  employment of this State, or of any county, municipality or school  district, but such veteran member shall be retired upon the completion  of such 20 years of service or upon attaining age 70 years, whichever is  earlier; and provided, further, that any member of the Public  Employees' Retirement System who was a member of the Prison Officers'  Pension Fund on the date of termination of said fund and who elected not  to obtain credit as a law enforcement officer shall not be required to  retire on account of age until age 70.

L.1955, c. 257, p. 941, s. 3. Amended by L.1956, c. 55, p. 108, s. 2; L.1959, c. 170, p. 701, s. 3.

Kleiman not only portrays himself as a "retired cop", when he has never worked and received an hourly or a salaried wage from any police department. He was a contracted armed security guard for social security, the guard at the desk when you walk into the building. A contracted security officer is a job that a lot of retired Police Officers take after a 20yr career,  but having that job doesn't make you a retired law enforcement officer.

Kleiman has also fraudulently applied for a license to run a security company of which he received. That license gives the authority to issue licenses to carry semi automatic hand guns to those he listed as employees of his company.Pre-Bruen(docs in gallery) 

Kleiman has been a wannabee cop his whole life, and as every good lie goes there is a hint of the truth.

Kleiman was hired by Edgewater Park NJ Police department, but he would be fired before making it to the police academy due to an arrest for a charge with a handgun. His gun was confiscated at the time of arrest. Articles ran in The Courier Post and The Burlington County Times. (charge redacted until supporting documentation is received).

Kleiman threw a Halloween party at his then residence 1637 Perkins Ln Edgewater park NJ that was attended by family and friends. The story told by Kleiman and backed up by eyewitness' goes like this. It was late in the night and Kleiman was drunk in the master bedroom of his house with at the time his wife's best friend, when someone ran in and told him his wife was out on the lawn yelling and trying to kick out her brother inlaw and his friends. That group had picked on a Beverly Police officer who stopped bye the party earlier in the night while he was in uniform, and they were out living their welcome. Kleiman grabbed his Ruger p89 9 mil and ran out to his front yard to confront the group. ( info redacted until documentation provided)

 
One of Kleiman's friends stepped in and disarmed him shortly before the police arrived and Kleiman was arrested. When the residence was searched by Edgewater Park Police they found an odd collection of Beverly Police uniform pieces including a badge found in Kleiman's bedroom closet. Was he gay for the 

cop/owner of the badge and uniform found in his bedroom or was there something else going on?

 
While fighting the court cases Kleiman would move in with his wife's ex best friend, loose his house, divorce his wife and go bankrupt financially, morally he was already there. Through good lawyers (the Burlington county prosecutor who had just retired) the case was expunged from his record but thanks to the Burlington County times copies of the original news articles will be obtained and available for viewing shortly. (documentation to be provided)

Kleiman has leveraged several relationships, one being with the public safety officer in Beverly NJ to get hired at the Beverly Police department, only to be fired for failing the police academy in the early stages. He was issued a Beverly Police badge, of which he never returned. He has used that badge to get preferential treatment in many different situation over the years. Free cover charges, free beer, getting out of tickets, entry to places the public was not allowed and of course using it to try and impress girls, to list a few. (once loosing the badge one night when he got into a fight at a Riverside Strip Club, Ralph the bars owner returned it to him by the next day.) He also used that badge to get out of many bad situations of which most he caused. If that's not stolen valor I don't know what is.

 
While living in Lumberton, Kleiman was pulled over and didn't stop until he pulled into his driveway. It appeared that finally an officer was calling him out on his bullshit, after Kleiman stated he was a retired cop out of Edgewater Park during the stop. This even took place before he worked for the SPCA.  Kleiman leveraged a relationship and had that person from the FOP call the officer to smoothed things out and made the "misunderstanding" go away. Wonder if that officer still works in Lumberton? 

 
Kleiman also gained membership through returned favors and leveraged relationships into the local chapter of the FOP without ever holding a job with arrest powers. He has never been put in any of the numerous dangerous situations most police officers face on a daily. Yet he received the privilege of gaining entry into this respected organization where members currently or previously put their lives on the line serving as real Police officers.

To this day you can find Kleimans signature on FOP cards he gives out to friends and family. He also has been known to use the issuance of these cards for favors or the expectation of a future favor. Kind of tarnishes Burlington County NJ FOP lodge 2 a little?

Kleiman was determined to become a police officer, so much that in his mid 40's he paid to go to the police academy (nights and weekends) and became a PART-TIME SPCA investigator where he would investigate accusations of animal abuse. I like animals, probably more than most people, but for a couple of months he wrote tickets for barking dogs, and that is a far cry from the hard work of the federal/city/county/township/state police officers who protect our streets that he portrays to be. 

Kleiman didn't get much time in his position as the SPCA Police Department was soon shut down by Governor Christie as one of his last actions in office. The action was taken due to results from two state investigations stating that the agency was corrupt and had gone rogue with most of the agency playing cop, riding around lights and sirens without a need and those not playing cop were mishandling everything else. (This information can be found https://www.njspotlightnews.org/2018/01/18-01-16-njspca-is-history-christie-signs-bill-shutting-down-rogue-agency/.)

Kleiman carries NJ Police retirement credentials from the SPCA where he was a part time associate for a year and change. He used those credentials to carry a firearm. The credentials were obtained by the same corruption that led to the shutdown of the NJ SPCA Police Departments and should be looked into by the appropriate authorities.  Were they a gift for Kleiman helping shut down the agency after everyone else bailed? Most were non paid positions.

Kleiman shows his New Jersey police retirement credentials just has he had done with his Beverly badge to gain preferential treatment. He does this even when he knows he has never worked as a real police officer and has never walked in the boots of those who have rightfully earned those credentials. 

He has presented these credentials when approached by the NJ State Police on their numerous visits to his residence due to complaints for the firing of guns in his backyard gun range he built.  One such date was 4/25/20 New Jersey State Police may want to check their body cam from that day. He has also tried to put a harassment complaint in on the neighbors who made the calls on him to no avail. (tracks OPRA shows multiple neighbors have called the police regarding him shooting in his back yard. (Please take note that the position of the target frame is higher that the backstop in the picture below) 

Kleiman later went into business with his old cronies at the SPCA and opened Statewide Protective Services which can be found at www.statewideprotective.us

   When Kleiman applied for the license for the Security company he used the address of his previous house that was currently under contract to be sold, so the trail wouldn't lead to his residence in South Hampton. The State Police are very specific when it comes to locations of licensed armed security companies in their application. (docs in gallery) Did he out live the statute of limitations?
