Requires Police Training Commission to adopt training course on school emergency response.
This bill requires New Jersey's Police Training Commission to create a mandatory training course on school emergency response, including active shooter scenarios and lockdown drills. All local police officers in New Jersey must complete this training: new officers before permanent appointment, and current officers within 36 months of the law's effective date (which is immediate). The training will be administered by police departments as part of regular in-service sessions. It directly affects every local law enforcement officer in the state, aiming to standardize emergency response protocols for school safety.
