Requires chief law enforcement officer of municipal police departments to hold two community roundtables on police relations each year.

This bill (S 283) requires municipal police chiefs to hold two annual community roundtables on police relations - one in spring and one in fall - focusing on topics like racial profiling, officer recruitment, body camera use, and use-of-force policies. It also mandates the State Police Superintendent to host one regional roundtable per year in each of New Jersey’s three regions, with similar requirements for timing, location, and topic coverage. The law aims to increase community engagement with law enforcement by standardizing these discussions, with immediate effective date.
