S 4441 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State Police to establish community policing unit.

S 4441 requires the New Jersey State Police Superintendent to establish a community policing unit within the Division of State Police. The unit must develop community engagement strategies with local groups and law enforcement to address resident-identified crime and quality-of-life issues, increase diversity in State Police recruitment, create biennial training for troopers on inclusive communities, and mandate annual community engagement hours for each trooper. The bill also requires an annual report to the Attorney General and Legislature detailing the unit's activities. This directly affects State Police operations and the communities they serve across New Jersey.
