Bill overview
This bill changes the structure of New Jersey’s law enforcement by establishing the Department of State Police as the principal department within the executive branch.

This legislation transfers the Division of State Police to a new Department, with the Superintendent of State Police serving as its head and designated as the State Director of Emergency Management. It also clarifies personnel approval processes and references existing laws related to the Division of State Police.
