Authorizes Class Three special law enforcement officers to provide security at public and private colleges.

This bill (S 166) expands the authority of Class Three special law enforcement officers to provide security at four-year public and private colleges in New Jersey. Currently, these officers - typically retired police officers with specific training - can work in K-12 schools and county colleges, but this bill adds four-year colleges to their authorized locations. The key change specifies that these officers may perform security duties on campus during normal operating hours or when students/faculty are present. It does not alter the training requirements or firearm authorization rules for these officers. The bill aims to extend existing security protocols to higher education institutions.
