A 3712 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Attorney General to establish model duty-to-intervene policy for law enforcement officers; requires entities that employ law enforcement officers to adopt duty-to-intervene policy.

This New Jersey bill (A3712) requires all law enforcement agencies to adopt a mandatory "duty-to-intervene" policy. The policy compels officers to stop colleagues from committing unjustified force, civil rights violations, or other criminal acts during duty. Agencies must either use the Attorney General’s model policy or get approval for a comparable one, and report all intervention incidents quarterly to the Attorney General. Failure to intervene could result in disciplinary action under the policy. The law aims to create standardized accountability for officer conduct.
