Establishes task force to study ways to increase diversity within law enforcement agencies.
SJR 72 establishes the New Jersey Diversity in Law Enforcement Task Force to study ways to increase diversity within state, local, and municipal police departments. The 13-member task force includes legislative appointees, law enforcement association leaders, civil rights representatives, and community members from urban and non-urban areas. It will examine current diversity data in law enforcement, identify effective recruitment strategies, and develop recommendations within one year. The task force will hold public hearings and submit a final report to the Governor and Legislature, but the resolution itself does not mandate specific policy changes. This is a procedural resolution focused solely on studying the issue, not implementing new requirements.
