NJ expands police body camera requirement, beyond patrol officers
As the state’s requirement for all uniformed police to wear body cameras takes effect in June, the state has expanded which officers are included in that mandate.
State Attorney General Gurbir Grewal released an updated directive on Tuesday, which added to the list of law enforcement required to wear the recording devices:
All uniformed patrol officers while acting in the performance of official duties
All officers on tactical teams, including SWAT & SRT (Special Response Team)
All officers assigned to proactive enforcement teams
All officers assigned to canine units
All officers whose assigned duties include regular interaction with members of the public
