Overview
This bill changes New Jersey law to allow municipal police officers to make arrests for disorderly persons or petty disorderly persons offenses even when those offenses occur outside the boundaries of their city or town. Currently, officers are restricted to making these arrests only within their municipality’s limits. The legislation expands the officers’ authority to include arrests statewide. This change aims to provide greater flexibility for law enforcement in addressing these types of offenses.
