New Jersey S568 allows law enforcement officers to receive one-time emergency alerts on their personal wireless devices.

New Jersey S568 permits state, county, or municipal law enforcement officers to voluntarily receive one-time emergency alerts on their personal communication devices, such as cell phones and laptops. These alerts, which are electronic messages sent directly to the device, inform officers of emergency events that threaten public health, safety, and welfare. The information in these alerts is stored on an external server and cannot be accessed by officers after the alert expires.
