Introduced Text

New Jersey S3760 mandates periodic bias checks for law enforcement officers.

New Jersey S3760 requires state, county, and municipal police departments to conduct personal bias checks for law enforcement officers. These checks must occur upon hiring and every five years thereafter. The checks include reviewing publicly accessible information and administering a bias test. The test is designed to identify explicit and implicit bias against various groups. The bill defines an "extremist group" as one that uses unlawful force to promote bias or anti-government sentiment. The Attorney General will establish guidelines for implementing these provisions.
