A 1595 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes two-year pilot program requiring certain law enforcement agencies to coordinate with local school districts to identify and assist at-risk youths.

This New Jersey bill establishes a two-year pilot program requiring selected law enforcement agencies to coordinate with school districts to identify and support at-risk youth under 18. At-risk youth are defined as students involved in police-related incidents like arrests, being reported missing, exposure to violence, truancy, or mental health/substance abuse issues. Participating agencies must develop individual action plans connecting each youth to resources such as counseling, school support staff, diversion programs, and community services. The program will be evaluated after 12 months and at the end of the pilot to assess its impact on reducing juvenile recidivism and inform future decisions.
