Concerns training for law enforcement officers.

This bill requires all New Jersey law enforcement officers to complete state-approved continuing training as a condition of employment, directly affecting officers and their departments. It mandates that private training companies or instructors must obtain annual approval from the Police Training Commission, including paying fees set by the Attorney General. Departments must provide training opportunities and verify officers' completion, while prohibiting officers or departments from using unapproved training. The law aims to standardize training quality and oversight, responding to concerns about unregulated private training highlighted in a 2023 state report.
