Requires adult corrections officers in State facilities to complete in-service training program.
This bill requires adult corrections officers working in New Jersey state facilities to complete an additional in-service training program after finishing their initial basic training. The Commissioner of Corrections must develop this program (with input from the Police Training Commission) based on a needs assessment and following American Correctional Association standards, tailoring it to officers' experience levels. It directly affects all state-appointed adult corrections officers who have completed basic training, mandating they successfully finish this new program. The training aims to enhance officer skills and safety through structured, experience-based learning.
