S 4485 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Converts community crisis response team pilot program into permanent program; appropriates $6 million.

This bill makes a temporary community crisis response team pilot program permanent and allocates $6 million in funding to support it. The Attorney General will manage the program by issuing annual grants to eligible municipalities and community-based organizations in specific counties to help them establish or expand these teams. To qualify for funding, applicants must demonstrate a connection to state-approved violence intervention or harm reduction programs and meet specific population and density criteria. The funds can be used for planning, staffing, training, and operational costs, with a requirement to prioritize non-police human service interventions over law enforcement actions.
