Acting state Attorney General Matthew Platkin said he has directed the New Jersey State Police and all 21 county prosecutors in the state to “increase law enforcement presence at schools throughout New Jersey effective immediately.” Platkin said the State Police will increase its presence at schools where troopers are the primary law enforcement, while county prosecutors will direct local police departments to do the same. He did not say how long this would last.
“Our students, their families and caregivers, teachers, and school administrators should feel safe in school, and be assured that New Jersey’s law enforcement agencies will do everything in their power to protect them,” Platkin said in a statement.Tuesday’s shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas — carried out by an 18-year-old gunman — is the deadliest shooting at a U.S.
Platkin, who was nominated by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy in New Jersey, said Tuesday that he spokes with New Jersey State Police Superintendent Colonel Callahan and law enforcement officials across the Garden State to “ensure coordination in the aftermath of this tragedy.”“We do not have to accept that we live in a country where children are shot just for going to school,” Platkin said.
