Bill Summary

The bill would continue to exempt municipalities without a full-time police department or force, which receive patrol and general police services, from paying for these services. R.S.53:2-1, which defined the powers and duties of the New Jersey State Police upon its founding in 1921, requires that the State Police provide adequate police protection to the inhabitants of rural sections. Currently, the State Police furnish full-time police protection to 73 municipalities and part-time protection to 24 municipalities. It is the sponsor's view that municipalities should not be required to pay for these services since a primary function of the New Jersey State Police is to provide protection to such municipalities.

AI Summary

This bill continues to exempt municipalities without a full-time police department from having to pay for patrol and general police services provided by the New Jersey State Police. The State Police are required to provide adequate police protection to rural areas, and currently provide full-time service to 73 municipalities and part-time service to 24 municipalities. The bill's sponsor believes these municipalities should not have to pay for these services as it is a primary function of the State Police to provide protection to such areas.
