Requires AG to establish ballistics analysis device pilot program in certain municipalities.

This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to launch a 90-day pilot program in the state's 10 municipalities with the highest violent crime rates (based on the latest Uniform Crime Report). Participating police departments would receive ballistics scanning devices to analyze firearm evidence at crime scenes, instantly uploading data to help investigators identify patterns and connect cases more quickly. After the pilot, each department must submit a report to the Attorney General detailing device usage and recommending continued use, with the Attorney General then advising the Governor and Legislature on whether to make the program permanent with annual funding. The initiative directly affects law enforcement agencies in high-crime areas by introducing new investigative tools and requiring data-driven evaluations of their effectiveness.
