Criminal Justice (Policing · Data Reporting)

This bill (S 890) requires New Jersey's Attorney General to publish quarterly crime data collected from police departments on the state website within six months after each quarter ends. It also sets a deadline of one year and one day for the Attorney General to deliver an annual crime data report to the Governor and Legislature. The law directly affects the Attorney General's office and the Division of State Police, which will manage the data repository. These deadlines replace the current lack of specified timelines for releasing this public safety information.
