A 3115 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes training curriculum for auxiliary police officers; awards auxiliary police officers additional service credits on civil service exam for years of service.

This bill establishes a standardized training curriculum for auxiliary police officers in New Jersey, requiring the Police Training Commission to approve training schools and set basic requirements. It mandates that counties and municipalities award 3 to 10 additional points on civil service exam scores for qualified auxiliary officers who have completed approved training and served at least two years in the county or municipality. Existing auxiliary officers must complete this training within six months of the bill's effective date to continue serving. The bill does not create preferences for auxiliary officers over paid officers in cases involving temporary dismissals or promotions of paid personnel.
