This Policy manual is dedicated to the memory of William J. Brennan, Jr., who served for many years as a member the New Jersey and United States Supreme Courts. Justice Brennan was a tireless and eloquent advocate of individual rights, and spoke on many occasions of a school teacher's task to imbue students with an understanding our system of constitutional democracy.
This Manual is intended for use by school administrators and teachers, local police department, sheriffs, the State Police, and county prosecutors' offices. It is designed to enhance the knowledge of school officials and law enforcement officers in New Jersey. This manual does not create any rights beyond those established under the Constitutions, statutes, and regulations of the United States and the State of New Jersey, and shall not be construed to preclude the Attorney General or a county prosecutor from making any argument in the source of litigation.
