This bill mandates the establishment of a community policing unit within the Division of State Police, aimed at fostering trust and transparency between the State Police and the communities they serve. The unit will be responsible for several key activities, including developing strategies to enhance community engagement, promoting diversity in recruitment practices, creating a biennial community policing training curriculum for State troopers, and setting guidelines for mandatory participation in community engagement activities.

Additionally, the Superintendent of State Police is required to provide an annual report to the Attorney General and the Legislature summarizing the unit's activities. This initiative is designed to address quality of life and crime issues identified by residents, thereby strengthening the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
