New Jersey Statutes Title 40. Municipalities and Counties 40 § 47-4.6

The Legislature finds that the urgency of augmenting local law enforcement agencies to cope with increases in the number of serious crimes and civil disorders dictates authorization for temporary expansion of municipal police forces by appointment of additional officers and men with police and law enforcement experience who do not meet age and residence requirements imposed by law for permanent appointees to municipal police forces and to permit retired police personnel to accept such appointments without affecting their continued right to receive pension and retirement benefits or subsidies from this or any other State or any county, municipality or school district of this or any other State.
