Requires campus police officers to wear body worn cameras.
This bill requires campus police officers in New Jersey to wear body cameras that record audio and video during official duties, directly affecting campus security personnel at public and private schools. Exceptions include undercover work, administrative tasks, meetings with confidential informants, or when civilians request deactivation for medical emergencies. Cameras must activate during public encounters or calls for service, remain on until the encounter ends, and can be temporarily turned off in specific scenarios like school settings or healthcare facilities. Funding may come from forfeiture funds or other sources, as specified in the law.
