A 105 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes Class Three special law enforcement officers to provide security at public and private colleges.

This bill amends New Jersey law to explicitly authorize Class Three special law enforcement officers to provide security at four-year public and private colleges. Currently, these officers (retired police officers with specific training) are allowed to work at schools and county colleges, but the law was unclear about whether private colleges were included. The amendment updates the statute to remove ambiguity by specifying that private colleges are covered under the authorization. It does not change the training or certification requirements for these officers, which require prior experience as a full-time police officer and specialized safety training.
