Directs Attorney General to establish program for anonymous reporting of potential threats to school safety.
S 2527 directs New Jersey's Attorney General to create a program allowing anonymous reporting of potential school safety threats. It enables students, parents, staff, and community members to report unsafe activities via accessible methods like a phone tip line or mobile app, with strict privacy protections ensuring reporters' identities remain confidential unless voluntarily disclosed. The program requires automatic forwarding of reports to law enforcement or school officials, along with mandatory training for schools and law enforcement on handling tips. Annual reports must track total reports, usage patterns, misuse instances, and outcomes, to be submitted to the Governor and legislature.
