A 5024 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires chief law enforcement officer of municipal police departments to hold two community roundtables on police relations each year.

This bill requires every municipal police department in New Jersey to hold two annual community roundtables on police relations - one in spring and one in fall - with specific scheduling and notice requirements to maximize public participation. It also mandates the State Police Superintendent to hold at least one community roundtable per year in each of the state's three regions (north, central, south). Topics for all discussions must include racial profiling, officer recruitment and training, body camera regulations, and use of force policies. The law applies directly to municipal police chiefs and the State Police Superintendent, effective immediately.
