Which entity oversees the compliance of SORA practices?

The Division of Consumer Affairs is the entity that oversees compliance with SORA practices. This division is responsible for regulating various professions and enforcing consumer protection laws, including those pertaining to security officer registration and compliance with the Security Officer Registration Act. By overseeing the implementation of SORA, the Division ensures that security officers meet the necessary licensing and training requirements, ensuring public safety and standardizing practices within the industry.

This oversight is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the security profession and protecting the rights of consumers. Other entities, while involved in different aspects of public safety and legal regulations, do not specifically focus on enforcing the provisions set out in SORA. For instance, the New Jersey Security Council provides guidelines and recommendations but does not handle direct compliance; the Department of Justice deals with broader legal and criminal justice issues; and the State Public Safety Office generally oversees higher-level safety initiatives rather than specific regulatory compliance of security officers.
