This bill amends N.J.S.40A:14-107 to grant county police departments the authority to enter into shared service agreements with municipalities within the county to provide police services that municipal police departments are authorized to perform. This change is intended to reduce municipal policing costs and offer property tax relief to residents. Additionally, the bill includes a provision for the Attorney General to provide guidance on police administration matters related to these shared service agreements.

The bill also makes a technical correction by deleting the existing language that allows county police to enforce provisions of chapter 171 of Title 2A of the New Jersey Statutes, which pertains to Sunday observances, as those statutes have been repealed. The overall goal of the legislation is to enhance collaboration between county and municipal police forces while streamlining law enforcement services across jurisdictions.
