Union County, NJ Crime Stoppers launched its Campus Crime Stoppers program in all county middle and high schools at the beginning of the 2011-12 school year.
It is the first formal and comprehensive school tips program in New Jersey, enlisting the assistance and support of students in fifth through 12th grade to keep county schools and communities safe from crime, says a CentralNewJersey.com report. It is administered by Union County Crime Stoppers, a volunteer group of citizens, and is supported by the Union County Prosecutor’s Office and the law- enforcement community.
