Chris Christie stripped of his State Police security ahead of schedule

When a New Jersey governor leaves office, they are given six months of State Police security detail.

But former Gov. Chris Christie's will end a few weeks early.

Gov. Phil Murphy's predecessor is set to have his security detail stripped Saturday, two sources with knowledge of the State Police's plans told NJ Advance Media on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to talk openly about the State Police's Executive Protection Unit.

The decision to end Christie's after-office protection comes from Murphy's administration, not the State Police, the sources said.

Christie's detail will end about two weeks ahead of the six-month mark the security would officially conclude. He left office on Jan. 16.
