A 4069 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State Police to maintain 24-hour hotline for receiving anonymous tips regarding potential threats to school safety and security.

This bill requires the New Jersey State Police to maintain a 24-hour, toll-free hotline for anonymous tips about school safety threats, accessible via phone or text. It allows students, parents, school staff, and the public to report incidents like violence, assaults, suicide threats, or bullying without revealing their identity. The State Police must share reported information with local law enforcement and school officials to enable prompt investigation and intervention. Additionally, the State Police, in collaboration with the Department of Education, will distribute hotline details to all schools for sharing with students and families.
