S 2119 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits county police department and force to provide police services to municipalities.

This bill allows county police departments to enter into shared service agreements with municipalities in the same county to provide police services. It directly affects municipalities (which could lower their policing costs) and county police departments (which could expand their service scope). The key mechanism is amending state law to permit counties to offer all or part of the policing services typically handled by municipal departments, under the existing "Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act." The bill also removes outdated language about enforcing Sunday observance laws, which were repealed decades ago.
