A 3275 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires online portal to report law enforcement officer misconduct; establishes duty to report by law enforcement officers.

This bill requires New Jersey law enforcement officers to report certain misconduct by colleagues through a new online portal created by the Attorney General. Officers must report within 72 hours if they witness another officer using unjustifiable force, violating civil rights, or committing a criminal act. They may also report non-criminal policy violations via the portal. The portal allows anonymous submissions, generating random identifiers instead of personal details to protect reporters. It directly affects all New Jersey law enforcement officers who observe misconduct.
