A 3723 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires revocation of parole for assaulting or threatening law enforcement officers.

This bill requires New Jersey's Parole Board to immediately revoke parole for any parolee arrested or indicted for assaulting a law enforcement officer or threatening to kill or cause physical harm to an officer (or their family member), provided the threat causes the officer to believe the threat is imminent and likely to be carried out. It directly affects parolees convicted of such offenses, including those threatening retired officers due to their former status. The key mechanism removes the current requirement for the Parole Board to determine if charges are "serious" before proceeding, mandating automatic revocation proceedings upon arrest for these specific acts. The bill applies to threats against family members defined as spouses, parents, children living with the officer, or other relatives residing with them.
