About
the Division |
|
|
|
|
| |
Formed
under the Criminal Justice Act of 1970, the Division
of Criminal Justice is the extension of the Attorney
General's role as the State's Chief Law Enforcement
Officer. |
|
|
| |
New
Jersey's unified, integrated system of law enforcement
is unique in the nation. The Criminal Justice Act of
1970 designated the Attorney
General as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of
the State. The Division of Criminal Justice, on behalf
of the Attorney General, provides a variety of functions
pertaining to the administration of criminal justice. |
|
|
| |
Primarily,
the Division is charged with the responsibility to detect,
enforce and prosecute the criminal business of the State
through the uniform and efficient administration of
our criminal laws. In addition to its direct law enforcement
operations, the Division provides oversight and coordination
within New Jersey's law enforcement community. |
|
|
| |
The
activities of the Division are conducted through a staff
consisting of deputy attorneys general, investigators,
professional and clerical personnel. |
|
|
| |
It
is the goal of the Division of Criminal Justice to
coordinate law enforcement efforts and cooperate to
share resources within criminal justice communities
on the state, county and municipal levels, to ensure
the safety and security of all New Jersey citizens.
