A bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Angela McKnight (D-Hudson) seeks to get police and communities together in regular meetings. Jeff Feldman of the National Association of Social Workers, New Jersey chapter said that while such meetings are already taking place in some communities, the bill would codify the process.
McKnight said that in a perfect world the roundtables would turn into less a recounting of current complaints and more a foundation for discussing broader issues like civilian complaint review boards and policing reforms.
