Requires law enforcement officers in State to annually pass physical fitness examination; appropriates $500,000.

This bill requires all New Jersey law enforcement officers (including full-time, part-time, permanent, and temporary officers empowered to enforce criminal laws and complete approved training) to annually pass a physical fitness exam. The Police Training Commission, with input from the Attorney General and criminal justice officials, must create age- and gender-specific fitness standards reviewed every two years. Officers who fail the exam would have disciplinary actions like demotion or termination recommended by the Commission to their employer. The bill appropriates $500,000 from the state general fund to cover the Commission’s implementation costs.
