S 575 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits school districts to employ safe schools resource officers or Class Three special law enforcement officers for security purposes, and requires school districts to have agreement with local law enforcement governing placement of school security personnel.

S 575 allows New Jersey public school districts to hire safe schools resource officers or Class Three special law enforcement officers for security during school hours, with the state covering costs for officers hired after the bill's effective date. School districts must establish written agreements with local law enforcement (or the State Police if no local department exists) outlining roles, training, firearm authority, work hours, and communication protocols for these officers. The bill directly affects school districts and local law enforcement agencies by standardizing security personnel placement and responsibilities. It takes effect immediately upon enactment, requiring districts to implement these agreements for any security officers employed under the law.
