The resolution urges the New Jersey Attorney General and the Department of Education to regularly update two key documents related to school safety: the "School Safety and Security Manual: Best Practices Guidelines" and "Law Enforcement Directive No. 2007-1." These documents, which provide essential guidance for enhancing school security and safety protocols, have not been significantly revised since 2007. The resolution emphasizes the importance of ensuring that both school personnel and law enforcement officials have access to the most current best practices in order to effectively prevent and respond to school safety emergencies.
By calling for regular reviews and updates of these documents, the resolution aims to enhance the safety and security of New Jersey's schools in light of evolving challenges and threats. It highlights the necessity of equipping educators and law enforcement with up-to-date information to improve emergency response times and overall preparedness. The resolution will be transmitted to the Department of Education and the Attorney General to facilitate these updates.
