Requires online portal to report law enforcement officer misconduct; establishes duty to report by law enforcement officers.
This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to create an online portal where law enforcement officers must report misconduct by colleagues within 72 hours. Officers must report witnessed unjustifiable use of force, civil rights violations, or criminal offenses by other officers, and may optionally report policy violations that don't rise to criminal level. The portal ensures anonymity by generating random identifiers instead of personal details for reporters. It directly affects all law enforcement officers in New Jersey who observe misconduct during their duties.
