New Jersey A3444 mandates body-worn cameras for correctional police officers and security cameras in state correctional facilities.

New Jersey A3444 requires all correctional police officers to wear body-worn cameras (BWC) that record audio and video while on duty, with specific exceptions. The bill mandates the installation of a state-of-the-art camera system in each state correctional facility. It outlines retention periods for BWC recordings, which vary based on the circumstances of the recording. The Department of Corrections must submit an annual report to the Legislature evaluating the camera system's effectiveness.
