For first time in 2 years, N.J. State Police is hiring
The New Jersey State Police announced Thursday that it would start accepting job applications in May for its next class of troopers – the first in more than two years – and is reaching out to encourage diverse applicants.
The State Police have been criticized in the past by the NAACP for failing to hire more minorities. New Jersey NAACP President James Harris said he saw the outreach effort as an opportunity for correction but would wait to see if it panned out. (Duffelmeyer, Associated Press)
