S 2488 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns criminal investigation of law enforcement officers.

S 2488 requires county prosecutors to notify New Jersey's Office of Public Integrity and Accountability before starting criminal investigations into misconduct by state, county, or municipal law enforcement officers. The Office must then supervise these investigations to ensure objectivity. The Attorney General may also take over an investigation if they determine it serves the state's interests. This bill directly affects law enforcement officers facing misconduct allegations, county prosecutors, and the Attorney General's office. It changes the process for handling such investigations by adding oversight and potential state-level supervision.
