TRENTON – An Assembly panel advanced proposals Monday that aim to root out any police officers involved with anti-government or hate groups in New Jersey.
Assemblywoman Angela McKnight, D-Hudson, said the need for the measures became apparent after the riot at the Capitol in January when Congress was certifying the election results. Off-duty police officers were part of the mob.
“We need to see what extremist organizations are out there,” McKnight said. “When Jan. 6th occurred, it really heightened all of the extremist organizations. And I want the public to know who’s out there with this mindset.”
Scott Richman, the New York and New Jersey regional director for the Anti-Defamation League, said police officers and military members with security clearances can’t be allowed to engage in violent extremist activity, as their access to sensitive or classified information creates tactical challenges.
