AG Set 4 of 4 Flashcards
In New Jersey, the AMBER Alert program
has been established by statute
and is codified at N.J.S.A. 52:17B-194.1
et seq. The New Jersey Legislature expressly
found that the most critical moments
in the search for an abducted
child are the first few hours immediately
following the abduction. The Legislative
findings note in this regard that, “if a child
is not found within ______________ to
_____________ hours, it is unlikely that
child will be found alive.”
2 to 4
AMBER Alerts are intended to be issued
when there is reason to believe that a
____________________ has been abducted
and may be in danger of death or
serious bodily injury.
child
The following criteria shall be met before
an AMBER Alert is activated:
a. There is reason to believe that a child
under the age of ________________
has been abducted.
b. There is reason to believe that the
abducted child may be in danger of death
or _________________ bodily injury.
c. There is reason to believe that
an AMBER Alert would assist in locating
the child considering all relevant
circumstances, including whether
there is enough descriptive information
available, and the amount
of ___________________ that has
elapsed since the child was last seen
and was reported missing.
18 / serious / time
When considering an amber alert activation
in family abduction cases, the
law enforcement officials should consider
the following specific circumstances, when information about these circumstances
is available:
a. Whether any threats of
________________ to the child were
made by the abductor at any time before
the abduction, or during the course of
the abduction (including implied threats
such as “if I can’t have custody, then no
one will”);
b. Any past history of
___________________ by the abductor
directed against the child, or abuse or
neglect of the child, or any other child.
harm / violence
In a child abduction response team activation,
the agency receiving the report
shall remain the __________________
agency unless or until the county prosecutor
determines otherwise.

Some physical clues for people who
have Alzheimer’s disease include a
________________ facial expression;
unsteady walk/loss of balance; age
(common age of onset 65+); repeats
questions; has inappropriate clothing
for the season; and has a
__________________ Return Identification.
blank / Safe
Almost _________________ % of people
with Alzheimer’s disease will wander
and become lost.

When you approach a person you believe
has or may have Alzheimer’s disease,
ask for identifying information. In
addition, look for a _________________
_________________ bracelet, necklace,
lapel pin, key chain, or label inside
their clothing collar. Safe return identification
provides the first name of a person bearing this ID, indicates that he
or she has a memory impairment, and
gives the 24-hour toll-free number for the
Alzheimer’s Association’s Safe Return
Program.
safe return
When searching for a person with
Alzheimer’s Disease who is lost or has
wandered, remember most are found
within _________________ mile of their
last location.

Under the safe haven law, an officer
should immediately make a visual
_____________________ of the infant
for readily apparent signs of abuse or
neglect.
assessment
In regards to New Jersey’s safe haven
protection act, a law enforcement officer
shall ask the person who delivers an
infant to the police station whether that
person is the ___________________,
whether the infant is no more than
________________ days old, whether
the infant is being delivered voluntarily,
and whether the parent intends to return
for the infant.

Police officers in this State should be
aware of and watchful at all times for
the indicators of human trafficking activity.
Vigilance by law enforcement officers
is especially important when their
duties bring them into contact with the
kinds of commercial establishments or
places that past experience has shown,
may be used to harbor and conceal human
trafficking activities, such as “strip
clubs” and other sexually oriented businesses,
massage parlors, or nail salons.
By way of example, a police officer should know to take note if he or
she were to see evidence that suggests
that persons are ________________ or
_________________ at a commercial
establishment that is not ordinarily considered
to be a residential premise.
sleeping / living
Where an officer or another member
of the officer’s agency pursues the investigation
of a possible violation of
N.J.S.A. 2C:13-8 without referring the
matter to the County Prosecutor’s office
or the Division of Criminal Justice
for investigation by the County Prosecutor
or division, the agency shall, within
____________________ hours of initiating
its investigation, notify the County
Prosecutor’s human trafficking liaison
that a human trafficking investigation has
been initiated, the circumstances that
prompted the investigation, and the results
of the investigation to date.
24
When a law enforcement officer makes
an arrest or otherwise develops probable
cause to believe that the crime
of human trafficking has been or is
being committed, the arresting officer
or another member of the officer’s
agency shall ________________
__________________ the matter to the
designated County Prosecutor’s Office
Human Trafficking Liaison.
immediately report
Law enforcement officials, community
and religious leaders, and citizens alike
have spoken out with one voice about
a vexing challenge: the pervasive and
deeply destructive practice of victim and
witness intimidation, including tampering
and _______________________.
retaliation
Most commonly applicable, N.J.S.A.
2C:28-5 proscribes a broad
range of conduct that includes
acts of tampering and retaliation.
______________________ involves
causing a person - during an official
proceeding or investigation to:
- Testify or inform falsely;
- Withhold any testimony, information,
document or thing;
- Elude legal process summoning
him to testify or supply
____________________;
Tampering / evidence
A person commits the offense
of _______________________ when,
through an unlawful act, he or she harms
another person in retaliation for or on
account of that person’s service as a
witness or informant.
retaliation
Upon receipt of any complaint from
a victim or witness, or upon receipt
of any information indicating the reasonable
probability of witness intimidation,
an officer shall be assigned
to conduct a _____________________
_______________________ and an investigation
into the allegations of any
wrongful conduct.
threat assessment
If an officer makes an arrest or is
conducting an investigation becomes
aware that a defendant might attempt
to threaten or otherwise intimidate a
victim or witnesses, the officer shall
promptly communicate those concerns
to the __________________ responsible
for the case.
prosecutor
The standard for witness intimidation
notification is intended to be comparable to the “specific and articulable
facts warranting heightened
______________________” standard
used in New Jersey search and seizure
case law.
caution
Whenever pre-trial release conditions
are necessary to protect victims or
witnesses from potential intimidation,
the prosecutor must apply for a complaint-
____________________ so that
the court may impose such conditions on
the defendant.
warrant
If a prosecutor becomes aware of any
conduct designed or reasonably likely
to threaten or intimidate a victim
or witness while the defendant is on
pre-trial release, the prosecutor presumptively
and immediately shall seek
_____________________ of that defendant’s
release.
revocation
Police officers who issue complaint-
summonses and apply for complaint-
warrants must ensure that information
that identifies the names
and addresses of victims and civilian
witnesses is not included in
_________________________ reports.
PLEIR
Police officers must be aware that the
________________________ system is
designed to capture victim contact information
through a separate tab so that
this information will be accessible to the
judiciary (but not defense counsel) solely
for the purpose of generating automated
victim-notification communications, and
will not be shared with anyone other than
the prosecutor.
eCDR
Prosecutors and police officers
across the state must use anonymous
______________________-such
as “John Doe” or “Jane Doe” (whose true
identity is known to law enforcement)
and “Victim # 1,” or “Witness #2,”or some
other anonymized moniker - when referencing
victims and witnesses where the
potential exists for intimidation.
pseudonyms
If notification of case-specific victim/witness
intimidation concerns is given to the
prosecutor, or if a prosecutor otherwise
has reason to believe that a defendant or
his associates might engage in victim or
witness intimidation, the prosecutor must
notify the police department before producing
_______________________ to
defense counsel, if that discovery could
reveal the identity of the victim or witness.
discovery
It is essential that prosecutors provide
this advance notice to police officers because
defendants often first learn (or
discern) the identity of victims or witnesses
through discovery. Police officers
therefore must have advance notice, before
discovery is provided to a defendant,
so they can take all necessary
steps to ________________, protect,
and/or _______________________ any
victims or witnesses who face potential
intimidation.
warn / relocate
All county prosecutors may, and
indeed should, use available
___________________ funds for the
critical function of relocating victims and
witnesses deemed necessary to protect
those individuals against intimidation.
forfeiture
Much of the decision-making framework
in our new bail reform system is guided
by a risk assessment instrument, known
as the ______________________
______________________ Assessment
or “PSA.”
Public Safety
The PSA is objective and standardized,
and was developed based upon
analysis of empirical data and risk factors
pertinent to an individual’s failure
to appear in court and the level
of _______________________ to the
community while on release.
danger
The Body Worn Camera Policy makes
clear that all policies must limit the
_____________________ of individual
officers in the field.
discretion
The decision to activate a Body Worn
Camera (BWC) must be based on
_________________ criteria (e.g., the
initiation of a specified type of police action,
such as a consensual field inquiry,
or the start of an officer’s duty shift).
