Requires police misconduct training course be included in police basic training curriculum.
New Jersey's A4241 requires all new police officers to complete a mandatory training course on misconduct as part of their basic training curriculum. The course uses real examples of excessive force incidents, particularly involving unarmed people of color, to teach ethical conduct and accountability. It covers how smartphones document misconduct, the duty to intervene during misconduct, and the consequences of poor policing on community trust. This training aims to prevent future incidents by educating recruits on accountability and the impact of misconduct.
