A 3843 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides police training course credit to prior military law enforcement officer seeking employment as law enforcement officer in NJ.

This bill (A-3843) allows military law enforcement officers who separated under honorable conditions within the past three years to receive training course credits toward New Jersey's basic police officer certification. It requires the Police Training Commission to grant exemptions for portions of the training course that match their prior military law enforcement training, without waiving the entire course requirement. The policy directly affects veterans seeking to become sworn law enforcement officers in New Jersey.
