Requires specialized in-service training regarding crime victims for police departments in certain high-crime areas.
This bill requires police departments in New Jersey's six highest-crime urban municipalities (based on the latest Uniform Crime Report) to ensure a set percentage of officers complete mandatory in-service training on supporting crime victims. The Attorney General determines the specific percentage and verifies that required officers finish the training, which covers victim needs and available resources. The Division of Criminal Justice will assist departments in implementing this training. It applies only to departments in designated high-crime areas and builds on existing but non-mandatory victim training requirements.
