New Jersey State Police  Handbook 

Welcome to the New Jersey State Police Law Enforcement Officer Handbook. This guide is created for troopers at every stage—from recruits in training to seasoned officers in the field. It outlines the standards, protocols, and responsibilities that every New Jersey State Police officer is expected to uphold.

As a trooper, you are held to a higher standard of conduct and service. The badge you wear represents the trust placed in you by the public and the integrity of the entire organization. This handbook is not just a set of rules—it is a reflection of the core values that define the New Jersey State Police: Honor, Duty, and Fidelity.

You will find information here on topics ranging from professional ethics and uniform regulations to emergency response and mental wellness. Each section is designed to help you perform your duties with confidence, competence, and accountability.
