���� 1.��� Any municipality in this 
State with a population exceeding 60,000 according to the latest federal 
decennial census and which has a violent crime rate exceeding 10.0 per 1,000 
residents according to the most recently issued Uniform Crime Report published

STATEMENT

���� This bill would require 
municipalities in this State with a population of more than 60,000 people and a 
violent crime rate exceeding 10.0 per 1,000 residents to maintain a full-time 
police department or force comprised of at least four police officers per 1,000 
residents.� 

���� Under the bill, the violent 
crime rate would be based on that which is reported in the Uniform Crime Report 
(UCR) published by the Department of Law and Public Safety.� In the UCR, 
violent crimes include murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.� 

���� According to the sponsor, the 
escalating number of murders being committed in this State�s urban communities 
is becoming a public health crisis.� An appropriate response to this crisis is 
to ensure that urban municipalities with high crime rates have sufficient 
police officers to maintain the public safety.
