New Jersey A3205 permits members of Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) to perform traffic duties during emergencies or disasters. To qualify, members must pass a physical exam, complete a basic training course, and take an oath. They can perform duties until a law enforcement officer arrives or at public events, subject to approval. CERT members wear a safety vest, an emblem, and carry a whistle, flashlight, traffic wand, and gloves. They are not liable for damages if acting in good faith and within their training.
