Jersey City Office of the Municipal Prosecutor

Jersey City understands prosecution is more than bringing a case to court. We value making domestic violence survivors whole by easing the challenges of coming to court and giving resources for success after their cases are closed.

Therefore, Jersey City is in the midst of creating the “Safe Serenity Room” at the Lewis S. MCrae Municipal Justice Complex. This will be a secure and private space for survivors of domestic violence to prevent any in-person encounters with their abusers during court proceedings.

The Office of the Municipal Prosecutor would like to say thank you to all of the Jersey City First Responders who bravely and tirelessly worked to keep our City and residents as safe as possible during last week’s Superstorm Ida.

A special thanks to The Resident Response Center for their efforts and hard work over the last week handling incoming constituent calls and concerns.

Due to the severity of Superstorm Ida, the Division of Quality of Life is receiving a high volume of calls regarding downed tree branches, ceiling leaks, and flooding.

In order to best serve our constituents, we are extending the hours of the Residence Response Center and the Office of Code Compliance to 8:00pm in order to assist with recovery.

Please call (201) 547-4900 or visit jcnj.org/rrc for assistance.

The JCPD has launched a "Park & Walk" initiative to encourage positive interactions between the community and its officers. Walking patrols are incorporated into officers’ tours, and as a result, officers are more familiar with the residents of each block and the particular needs of each neighborhood.⠀
⠀
Last week I joined a walking tour on Friday to show support for the correlation between increased foot patrol and enhanced quality of life. When the community and our police work closely together, more problems are solved and more meaningful connections are made between city services and our residents.

The municipal prosecutor’s office is excited to see JCPD take this initiative.

Director Moody has been a strong supporter of the progressive, community-driven Quality of Life police unit in our prosecutors office. We look forward to working with toward additional positive changes in local enforcement🗽
