New Jersey S947 allows county sheriffs to certify law enforcement officers for license renewal.

New Jersey S947 amends existing law to permit county sheriffs to certify that law enforcement officers meet specific criteria for license renewal. This includes verifying the officer's good moral character, completion of required training, and absence of disqualifying convictions or conduct. The bill streamlines the renewal process by allowing administrative renewal under certain conditions, reducing the need for committee review or hearings. The law enforcement officer and their employing unit must submit the necessary certifications and any additional information requested by the commission.
