Requires law enforcement officers and recruits to undergo self-defense training; appropriates $250,000 to Police Training Commission.

This bill requires all New Jersey law enforcement officers and recruits (across state, county, and municipal agencies) to complete mandated self-defense training. Recruits must take a 40-hour final course plus 1.5 hours of weekly instruction during basic training, while active officers must complete 48 hours of annual refresher training. The Police Training Commission will administer the courses and receives $250,000 in state funding to establish them, with training time excluded from overtime compensation. The law takes effect seven months after enactment.
