A 5644 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Superintendent of State Police to implement policy to diversify State Police Academy civilian instructors and contractors.

This bill (A5644) requires New Jersey's Superintendent of State Police to create and implement a policy within six months that prioritizes recruiting women and minorities as civilian instructors and contractors at the State Police Academy. The policy aims to diversify the instructional staff who train new police recruits. The superintendent must annually report to the Attorney General and Legislature on the demographics (age, gender, race, ethnicity) of all civilian instructors/contractors and summarize any updates to the diversity policy. The bill focuses on changing hiring practices and reporting requirements for academy staff, not on altering police training content or outcomes.
