New Jersey S2017 allows county sheriffs to appoint Class Three special law enforcement officers for school security.

New Jersey S2017 amends existing law to permit county sheriffs to appoint Class Three special law enforcement officers. These officers can provide security at schools or county colleges during school hours or when the premises are occupied by students, teachers, or professors. This change expands the authority to appoint such officers beyond local units, which currently have this power. The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
