Borough Passes Resolution to Support Transparency in PolicingCouncil Members unanimously voted to pass a resolution in support of Senate Bill No. S2656/Assembly Bill No. 5301 that requires access to law enforcement disciplinary records as government records. The unanimous vote shows support for this important legislation that will bring New Jersey up-to-speed with 30 other states, moves us toward greater accountability and transparency in policing, and is in response to the over 100 organizations and individuals who are advocating for the passage of this bill statewide. Local groups in Highland Park–Antiracism in Action (AIA), Black Community Watchline (BCW) and Middlesex Black-Jewish Coalition (MBJC)–have been collecting signatures on an Open Letter to Senator Diegnan, Assemblyman Stanley, and Assemblyman Karabinchak to continue urging them to support and co-sponsor this legislation. At this time, the Open Letter includes 114 signatures.
