Requires police misconduct training course be included in police basic training curriculum.

This bill requires New Jersey's Police Training Commission to include a mandatory police misconduct training course in the basic curriculum for all new police officers. The course, to be taught by instructors with advanced degrees in sociology or related fields, uses real cases like George Floyd's death to address excessive force, bias, and the duty to intervene in misconduct. It also covers how smartphones document police actions, the community impact of poor policing, and strategies for handling civil unrest. The training will count for three credits toward the total requirements for completing basic police training.
