Narrative:

While getting vectored for an ILS runway 22L at newark we under flew a large quad drone while level at 3000 feet. Our heading was 120 degrees. We were about 5 miles west of teterboro VOR. We missed the drone by 100 feet or less. This drone looked like something law enforcement would use. It was black with silver struts. No evasive action was taken as there wasn't enough time and I saw we were going underneath it. The first officer did not see the drone. Informed ATC of the incident. Gave more details to the ground controller at ewr. Person operating the drone without proper clearance and did not follow FAA rules for operating drones. Suggest better security and monitoring drone operations near airports as well as better training for drone operators.
