S 1684 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs Attorney General to establish program for anonymous reporting of potential threats to school safety.

S 1684 directs New Jersey's Attorney General to create a state-wide anonymous reporting program for school safety threats. It establishes accessible methods like a phone tip line and mobile app, allowing students, parents, school staff, and community members to report unsafe or criminal activities in schools without revealing their identity (except if they voluntarily disclose it). The program requires forwarding reports to authorities, providing training to schools and law enforcement on handling tips, and distributing student guidelines and awareness materials. The Attorney General must annually report on program usage, misuse, and outcomes to the Governor and legislature.
