Permits school districts to employ safe schools resource officers or Class Three special law enforcement officers for security purposes, and requires school districts to have agreement with local law enforcement governing placement of school security personnel.

This bill allows New Jersey public school districts to hire "safe schools resource officers" or Class Three special law enforcement officers for security during school hours. The state will fund these positions for officers hired after the bill's effective date. School districts must create written agreements with local law enforcement (or the State Police if no local department exists), detailing roles, qualifications, training, firearm authority, and communication protocols. The policy directly affects school districts, local law enforcement agencies, and school security personnel, setting clear operational standards for school safety roles.
