TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senators John A. Girgenti and Nicholas Sacco, which would extend the law and allow more New Jersey law enforcement officers to access juvenile records, was approved by the full Assembly today.
“The additional access to a juvenile’s record will help the law enforcement officers throughout the State prevent and solve more crimes that are committed by those under 18,” said Senator Girgenti, Chairman of the Senate Law, Public Safety and Veterans Affairs Committee. “The more information that officers have on the history of a juvenile who committed a crime, the better equipped they are to handle the situation accurately and compassionately. Neighboring municipalities need access to the juvenile records of nearby communities so that they can properly investigate crimes and check into juvenile offenses that occur.”
