During a visit to Edison, NJ, Governor Phil Murphy enacted new laws aimed at enhancing community safety through stricter burglary classifications.
MORRISTOWN, NJ — Governor Phil Murphy signed into law today two pivotal pieces of legislation, S3006/A4299, which introduce stiffer penalties for burglary offenses, specifically targeting home invasions. The signing event, held in Edison, marks a significant move by the administration to fortify legal protections for New Jersey residents.
“In the wake of the tragic death of Detective Sergeant Monica Mosley as a result of a violent home invasion, it is jolting the crisis level we are at when a trained and capable law enforcement officer is overcome in their own residence. We must continue to adapt and address these evolutions in criminal behavior in our great state through crucial and impactful public safety policy and legislation such as this Bill that will also send a powerful message and serve as a deterrent to these violent criminals,” said Wayne Blanchard, President of the State Troopers Fraternal Association.
