A 1150 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits certain fire police units to appoint fire police officers.

This bill allows certain fire police units (that are incorporated, file tax forms, carry insurance, and have a station number) to appoint non-members as fire police officers. Appointees must be in good health, of good moral character, have no criminal convictions involving moral turpitude, and complete a fire police training course. Once appointed, they perform duties like traffic control at fire scenes, preserving evidence, and protecting property during emergencies, all under police supervision. They must wear authorized badges and follow the same rules as current fire police officers.
