New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy wants to hire more state troopers.Last week, when New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy announced a $9 million expansion of the state police, social justice activists who marched in the streets in 2020 to push for reallocating police funds were left with one question: Why?
Activists say they mistakenly thought Democrats were convinced that a police-centered approach to public safety doesn’t work. “One of my most sacred responsibilities as governor is insuring the safety and security of the residents of our state,” Murphy said. “This means the funding required for a diverse, well-trained and properly funded law enforcement that is fully acceptable of meeting the challenges we face today.”
Murphy said the state police is nationally respected, and other governors praise them when he travels out of state.New Jersey State Police Colonel Patrick Callahan called this second cohort of new troopers a “growth class” -- meaning the numbers will outpace attrition -- which he described as an extraordinary commitment. He highlighted how during COVID, troopers built testing and vaccine sites and delivered ventilators to hospitals.
