This bill mandates that all law enforcement officers in New Jersey must have a digital photograph taken every eight years. The digital photograph, defined as a certified color image of the officer's face that can be verified electronically, will be included in the officer's personnel file and on their identification card if required by their agency.
Additionally, the bill assigns the responsibility to the Attorney General, in consultation with the Superintendent of State Police, to establish guidelines to implement these requirements effectively. The legislation aims to ensure that law enforcement officers maintain updated photographic identification, enhancing accountability and identification within the law enforcement community.
