S 3753 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires State Police to establish community policing unit.

This bill requires the New Jersey State Police to create a new community policing unit designed to build trust and transparency with local communities. The unit would work with residents, local agencies, and community groups to address crime and quality-of-life issues, while also implementing recruitment practices to increase diversity among State Police officers. It mandates biennial training for all State troopers on inclusive communities and sets minimum annual hours for community engagement activities. Additionally, the State Police Superintendent must submit an annual report to the Attorney General and Legislature summarizing the unit's activities.
