Megan's Law Unit

This Unit was created after the adoption of Megan's Law on October 31, 1994 . The Unit administers and enforces all legal requirements regarding the administration and enforcement of Megan's Law in Warren County. These statutes include N.J.S.A 2C: 7-1 et seq.

• Investigates the background of registrants
• Classifies the individuals as low, moderate or high risk
