16h agoNew Jersey's Attorney General is expanding a pilot program intended to reduce use of force by police officers to Union County.
The program pairs plainclothes police officers
with mental health experts and sends them on
emergency calls that involve people in crisis.
The program started in
Cumberland County last December.
The goal is to expand to
Linden and Elizabeth, with more towns to follow.
