Requires commencement of State Police recruit training class at least once every six months; establishes recruitment program.

This bill requires the New Jersey State Police to begin recruit training classes at least once every six months. It mandates that the Superintendent of State Police, working with the Attorney General, set annual recruitment goals within 30 days of the budget passing - based on available funding and expected staff losses from retirement or resignation. The bill also establishes a formal recruitment program with specific targets for hiring women and minority officers, using strategies like community outreach in low-income areas, partnerships with schools and local organizations, and social media advertising. The program must be evaluated yearly to ensure it meets diversity goals and effectively attracts qualified applicants reflecting the communities the police serve.
