Permits municipal police officers to make arrests for any disorderly persons or petty disorderly persons offense outside the territorial limits of their municipality.

This bill (S 562) allows municipal police officers in New Jersey to make arrests for minor public disorder violations (like disturbances or minor nuisances) anywhere in the state, not just within their own municipality's boundaries. Currently, officers could only arrest for these offenses within their town's limits under existing law (N.J.S.40A:14-152). The bill removes this geographic restriction, expanding officers' authority to act statewide for these specific offenses when committed in their presence. It directly affects municipal police departments and their officers, enabling consistent enforcement of minor disorder laws across jurisdictional lines.
