NJ A4551

Mandates the Chairman of the Parole Board to detain parolees and commence revocation proceedings upon arrest or indictment for assaulting a law enforcement officer under N.J.S.2C:12-1

Requires parole revocation proceedings when a parolee threatens to kill or cause physical harm to a law enforcement officer or their family members, if the threat creates imminent fear and appears likely to be carried out

Extends protections to retired law enforcement officers when assaulted or threatened based on their former active duty status

Defines "member of the law enforcement officer's family" as spouse, parent, child (by blood, marriage, adoption, or legal custody), or other relatives residing with the officer

Removes current discretionary review process for these specific offenses, making detention and revocation proceedings mandatory rather than dependent on a determination that charges are "serious in nature"
