Requires law enforcement develop protocol for social media in certain circumstances.

This bill (A2187) requires New Jersey State Police and local police departments that use social media to share information about missing persons or wanted persons to create and follow a protocol for removing those posts. Specifically, it mandates that such posts must be removed within six months after the person is found (missing) or arrested/dismissed (wanted). The law directly affects law enforcement agencies using social media for these purposes, aiming to prevent outdated information from causing harm like employment issues. It does not change how police gather or share initial information, only sets a clear timeline for removal once the case is resolved.
