This publication contains guidelines and directives that affect
New Jersey law enforcement agencies. They come from a variety
of sources: the Governor, the Attorney General, the Director of
the Division of Criminal Justice, and the County Prosecutor's
Association of New Jersey. In many cases, they are the product
of a commission or task force established to study an area of
particular interest.
This is not an exhaustive compendium of law enforcement mandates.
This publication does not contain New Jersey statutes, administrative
law, or regulations issued by other State entities, such as the
Police Training Commission or the Department of Corrections.
The guidelines and directives contained in this book are subject
to modification or implementation schemes developed by the County
Prosecutor. Prior to enacting any of these provisions within your
agency, you should contact your County Prosecutor for any features
that may be unique to your county.
The enclosed guidelines and directives are identical in content
to those originally issued. Formatting and spacing have been changed
to achieve uniform appearance.
Appendices were included when they were important to the meaning
of the directive. Such is the case with the Semi-Annual Firearms
Qualification and Requalification Standards. Appendices were omitted
when they did not modify or add to the content of the directive,
such as the Internal Affairs Policy and Procedures in which the
appendices were reference materials and sample forms.
The same is true of cover letters. The letters have been included
in this document if they add information to the guideline or provide
specific instructions not included in the text of the guideline.
Otherwise they have not been included.
If you have any questions about this material, contact the Division
of Criminal Justice, Law Enforcement Standards Section at (609)
