A 5681 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes that State police officers assigned to certain positions are not to be excluded from promotion.

This bill ensures New Jersey State Police officers assigned to temporary "detachment" roles (like reassignment to different units for specific duties) or "confidential" roles (such as protective services for government branches) cannot be excluded from promotion opportunities. It mandates that time spent in these positions counts toward the officer's total service time for promotion eligibility. The law applies directly to state law enforcement officers and requires that such assignments not be penalized in promotion considerations. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
