WEST ORANGE, NJ – Acting Governor Richard J. Codey today signed into law a bill that would make New Jersey one of just roughly a dozen states in the nation to establish a statewide alert system for reporting information on a missing person believed to be suffering from dementia or other cognitive impairments.
“With the Amber Alert proving so effective in protecting some of our most vulnerable, our children, the Silver Alert is a smart next step in protecting another vulnerable segment of our population, the elderly and disabled,” said Acting Governor Codey (D-Essex).
