AJR 158 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes task force to study ways to increase diversity within law enforcement agencies.

AJR 158 establishes a 13-member task force to study ways to increase diversity within New Jersey's law enforcement agencies, including state, local, and municipal departments. The task force will examine current diversity data, identify effective recruitment and retention strategies, and develop recommendations for implementation. It includes members from both legislative chambers, law enforcement unions, civil rights organizations (like the NAACP and ACLU), and community representatives from urban and non-urban areas. The task force must submit a final report with findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within one year of its formation. This resolution directly affects all New Jersey law enforcement agencies by initiating a formal review of diversity efforts.
