Grateful to @VitalCityNYC for lifting up Newark as an example for NYC. Mayor Baraka approaches every shooting from an understanding of the grief & anger that explodes. It’s why he immediately asks for the community prevention response. And he rebuilt the system around that idea.

[Vital City @VitalCityNYC]

For Mayor @ZohranKMamdani's vision of community safety to succeed in NYC, @dhafetz writes that violence prevention, trauma response and other community-led approaches must become part of the city’s public safety strategy, working alongside law enforcement rather than replacing it. He points to Newark as a model for how that integration can work in practice.

The Brownsville Safety Alliance is one of the best things happening in public safety anywhere. The community, unfortunately known for the violence that happens there, transforms into a place where people get the help they need, and the community feels and is safer. @dana_rachlin

[Dana_Rachlin @dana_rachlin]

The Brownsville Safety Alliance is an invitation to scale what works:
1. shared access to 911/311 (DAS)
2. care & connection not cuffs

Housing discrimination puts affordable, safe housing out of reach for too many New Jerseyans.

That has to change.

We’re renewing our commitment to expanding housing opportunity—and to taking on redlining and other forms of housing discrimination.

Thank you @GovSherrillNJ.

It is an incredible honor to serve as AG and to be part of an administration that is standing up to protect the people of New Jersey every day.

Statement from Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport on Court Decision Blocking Trump Admin’s Freeze of Funding for Gateway Tunnel Project.

@KillerMike Years ago my friend introduced me to PB and Chutney. GAME CHANGER.

NEW: Trump’s team is plotting to declare a fake national emergency to hijack elections.

One top operative says they can “take steps without Congress” and “mandate" election rules for states.

@NYTimes' investigation exposes the operatives and the takeover already underway. ⬇️

[Thomas Abt @Abt_Thomas]

If Trump was really concerned about crime in DC, he could fix the crime lab, improve information-sharing, fill judicial vacancies, and fund improvements in community-based violence prevention. I told Congress about all these in 2023: https://t.co/gvZcMjmsIX

Today we announced racketeering and human trafficking charges against 8 individuals in connection with commercial sex trafficking in Camden and Trenton. Human beings are not property. In New Jersey, we will not tolerate this cruelty—and we will not stop fighting for survivors.

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

Traditional law enforcement approaches can’t do it alone—we need partnerships with community so our public safety solutions reach those at highest risk for violence and victimization.

Hear directly from our partners in law enforcement and community doing the work.

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

Today I announced a first-in-the-nation report to guide how law enforcement and community violence intervention groups can partner to reduce gun violence. This kind of collaboration saves lives—and builds safer, stronger communities.

We shouldn’t be panicked by a text alert when the kids are in school.

We shouldn’t be burying loved ones because they were at a park or out shopping.

We #WearOrange because no one should be victimized by gun violence in our everyday lives. We won’t accept it as the norm.

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

The students of @tchstornados are inspiring! After our final meeting of the year, @trentonjrotc invited me to their resource fair & potluck for mental health awareness. These brave scholars made their voices heard and are showing us how to lead the way to a brighter future.

.@elonmusk and his DOGE hackers got caught stealing Treasury data and we put a stop to it.

Now they are coming for your tax data.

Here in NJ, we are going to do everything that we can to protect your private data from an unelected billionaire.

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

NEW: We are proud to announce that 2024 marked our lowest number of shootings in New Jersey since tracking began in 2009.

Through our collaborative efforts with the Legislature, @NewJerseyOAG, and @NJSP, we are making strides to bolster public safety and combat gun violence.

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

BREAKING: I just sued Glock to put the homemade machine gun industry out of business.

The days of an Austrian company putting profits ahead of the safety of American residents and law enforcement officers are over.

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

Spent yesterday afternoon with Trenton Central High School's youth advisory group and @SandSJ_NJ, hearing student leaders' perspectives about this election cycle. Dialogue like this is key to building the future they deserve both in and outside of the classroom.

NJ has led youth justice reform since 2004--the first state to implement the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative statewide. AG Platkin & the Juvenile Justice Commission welcomed experts to the 2024 Youth Justice Conference to keep NJ striving for justice for its youth.
