Requires campus police officers to wear body worn cameras.
This bill requires campus police officers at New Jersey colleges and universities to wear body cameras that record audio and video during official duties. It specifies that cameras must be activated during public encounters and interactions, with exceptions for undercover work, non-emergency civilian requests, or specific situations like school environments. The bill also establishes minimum recording retention periods (180 days minimum, longer for incidents involving complaints or use of force) and prohibits using recordings for commercial purposes. Campus police officers are the primary group directly affected, as this legislation specifically expands the body camera requirement to include them under state law.
