12. The Superintendent of State Police shall ensure that no member of the State Police attends or participates in any training course or program relating to any applicable non-discrimination policy established by the Attorney General, the law of arrest, search and seizure or equal protection, or the manner for conducting motor vehicle stops or post-stop enforcement actions, unless the superintendent, or his designee, determines that attendance or participation in the training course or program is appropriate, considering the member's experience and present or pending duty assignment. This requirement shall apply to training provided by the Division of State Police, by any other law enforcement agency, by an association representing law enforcement offices or agencies, or by a private vendor. A member of the State Police attending a training course or program shall promptly report to the superintendent, through the chain of command, if the member knows or reasonably should know that the instruction provided during the course contradicts any Division of State Police rule, regulation, standing operating procedure, or operations instruction relating to any applicable non-discrimination policy established by the Attorney General; the law of arrest, search, seizure or equal protection; or the manner for lawfully conducting motor vehicle stops or post-stop enforcement actions. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the authority of the office under paragraph (2) of subsection d. of section 7 of P.L.2009, c.121 (C.52:17B-228). Nothing in this section shall be construed to abrogate any applicable constitutional or collectively bargained rights.
