New Jersey State Police are investigating whether a detective who temporarily went missing earlier this month has ties to white supremacy, reported News 12 this week. “Detective Jason Dare was reported missing on March 19 after walking away from a health facility in Media, Pennsylvania. He was found several days later, on March 24 unharmed,” reported Matt Trapani. “Photos of Dare show that he has the words ‘Blood Honor’ tattooed across his upper chest. The Anti-Defamation League says, ‘Several American white supremacist groups proclaim an association with Blood and Honor, as do many individual white supremacists.'” According to the report, State Police Superintendent Col. Patrick Callahan said, “I understand the importance of transparency and trust between law enforcement and the community, which is why we have enlisted the assistance of our law enforcement partners to conduct a thorough investigation. There is no room for hate, prejudicial rhetoric, or divisive behavior in our organization, an organization that was built on our core values of honor, duty, and fidelity.”

siehe auch: N.J. state trooper under investigation for tattoo linked to white supremacist groups A headshot released when Det. Jason Dare went missing earlier this month showed the phrase “Blood & Honor” on his neck. New Jersey state trooper has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into a neck tattoo of a phrase associated with white supremacist groups. The tattoo, which reads “Blood & Honor,” was visible in a photograph shared by police after the trooper, Det. Jason Dare, went missing from a medical facility in Media, Delaware County on March 18. Dare, 46, was found last week. That phrase is widely associated with skinhead groups in the U.S. and England, according to the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center. The slogan was popularized in Nazi Germany by the Hitler Youth group, whose “Blut & Ehre” motto was translated and embraced by hate groups in later generations. New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Patrick Callahan confirmed to NJ.com that an internal affairs investigation is underway.
