Requires campus police officers to wear body worn cameras.

This bill mandates that campus police officers in New Jersey wear body worn cameras while on duty, aligning their requirements with those of other law enforcement officers. The cameras must record audio and video, except in specific situations such as undercover assignments or when safety is compromised. Officers must notify subjects of the recording unless unsafe or infeasible. Recordings are subject to retention periods and may be exempt from public inspection under certain conditions. Disciplinary action applies for non-compliance with recording or retention requirements.
