Requires campus police officers to wear body worn cameras.

This bill mandates that campus police officers in New Jersey wear body worn cameras while performing their duties, aligning their requirements with those of other law enforcement officers.

The bill also outlines retention periods for body worn camera recordings, with certain recordings subject to a minimum three-year retention period.
