Adds training concerning coercive control to domestic violence training for judges and law enforcement officers.
S 5005 requires New Jersey judges, law enforcement officers, and judicial staff handling domestic violence cases to receive training on coercive control - a pattern of manipulation used to control a partner. The bill amends existing law to mandate that this training be included in all required domestic violence education, specifically covering recognition of coercive control indicators as defined in state law. Affected groups include municipal and Superior Court judges, police officers, and court personnel involved in domestic violence cases. Training must be completed within 90 days of appointment/transfer and annually, with the curriculum reviewed every two years. This is a procedural change to enhance existing training standards, not a new policy.
