AN ACT ESTABLISHING VARIOUS REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING RESIDENT STATE TROOPERS.

HB 5637 establishes new requirements for municipalities that have resident state troopers detailed to them. It requires the state trooper commissioner and the local chief elected official to jointly select which trooper is assigned, mandates annual performance evaluations from the local official to the commissioner, and obligates the commissioner to consider reassigning troopers if documented performance issues arise. The bill also requires troopers to follow locally established policing plans, as long as those plans comply with state department policies. This bill directly affects local municipalities with resident troopers and the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
