Requires revocation of parole for assaulting or threatening law enforcement officers.
This bill (S 1126) requires immediate parole revocation for New Jersey parolees who assault or threaten law enforcement officers (or their family members) with the intent to cause imminent fear of death or physical harm. It directly affects parolees convicted of or arrested for such acts, mandating that the Parole Board detain them and begin revocation proceedings without waiting for a criminal conviction. Key provisions include: (1) applying to threats made to officers' spouses, parents, children, or other household relatives; (2) extending protection to retired officers based on their former status; and (3) requiring the threat to create a belief of immediate danger. The bill does not change existing parole revocation for other crimes but adds specific triggers for officer-related offenses.
