Concerns accomplice liability of law enforcement officers who fail to de-escalate and intervene when another officer commits offense.

New Jersey's A838 requires all law enforcement officers to complete four hours of de-escalation and intervention training every three years. The bill amends state law to establish that an officer who fails to de-escalate and intervene when another officer commits an offense against a civilian is legally accountable as an accomplice. The training must include communication techniques to defuse dangerous situations and strategies for handling people experiencing mental or emotional crises.
