Permits county police department and force to provide police services to municipalities.

S 1757 allows county police departments to provide police services to municipalities within the same county through shared service agreements, as permitted under New Jersey's Uniform Shared Services Act. This directly affects counties, municipalities, and residents by enabling cost-sharing arrangements that could lower municipal policing expenses and reduce property taxes. The bill amends state law to authorize counties to perform all police functions a municipal department could provide, while removing outdated provisions about Sunday observance laws. It requires the Attorney General to provide guidance on resolving administrative issues in these agreements. The bill was introduced in the Senate on January 9, 2024, and referred to the Community and Urban Affairs Committee.
