S 808 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires campus police officers to wear body worn cameras.

This bill (S 808) requires all campus police officers in New Jersey to wear body-worn cameras that record audio and video during most official duties. It directly affects campus police officers at public and private schools (K-12) and university campuses, mandating camera use except during undercover work, meetings with confidential informants, administrative tasks, or when directed otherwise by a supervisor. Cameras must activate during public encounters, emergencies, or investigations but may be temporarily deactivated under specific circumstances like medical emergencies or privacy concerns in schools, healthcare facilities, or places of worship. Funding can come from state appropriations, forfeiture funds, or federal grants, as outlined in the amended statutes.
