Requires minimum level of police staffing based on municipal population and violent crime rate.
This bill requires New Jersey municipalities with populations over 60,000 and violent crime rates exceeding 10 incidents per 1,000 residents (based on the state's Uniform Crime Report) to maintain a full-time police force of at least four officers per 1,000 residents. Violent crime is defined as murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault under the UCR. The requirement applies to cities meeting both population and crime rate thresholds, using the most recent state-published crime data. The law would take effect six months after enactment.
