Requires correctional police officers to wear body worn cameras and security camera systems to be installed in State correctional facilities.
This bill requires all correctional police officers in New Jersey state facilities to wear body cameras that record both audio and video during their duties, with limited exceptions (like restroom use or medical appointments). It mandates that recordings be retained for at least 180 days, extending to three years for incidents involving complaints, disciplinary actions, criminal investigations, or requests from officers, inmates, or victims. The law also specifies that cameras must remain active during violent incidents, use of force, or riots. It directly affects correctional officers, inmates, and visitors by creating a permanent record of interactions within state correctional facilities.
