Hernia described the accusation as "absurd and unfounded."
He denied any wrongdoing by NCRPO officers in connection with the police operation.
"I urge the accusers to substantiate their allegations in the proper forum," Hernia said. "The NCRPO welcomes any investigation into the incident to prove the regularity and legality of our actions."
Hernia said the NCRPO is prepared to face the allegations before the proper venue.
"I am confident that the investigation will reveal that all procedures followed were lawful and proper. The NCRPO remains steadfast in its mission to combat crime and protect the public from fraudulent activities. We stand ready to clear our names and reinforce our dedication to integrity and service," he said.
