Office of Information Privacy

Overview:

The mission of the Department of Community Affairs Office of Information Privacy (“OIP”) is to carry out the mandate of Daniel’s Law: to work with State, county, and local government agencies to shield the protected information of Covered Persons as the law defines them from disclosure on those agencies’ websites, so that consistent and effective privacy protections are provided to these Persons, who serve the people of the State of New Jersey. 

Potential Areas of Internship for Students with the following Academic Majors: Communication; Criminal Justice; Law and Justice; Pre-Law; Political Science; Public Policy

The intern would assist with an internal project formatting Covered Persons’ addresses so that they are consistent throughout the portal.  This project would benefit the OIP by making the addresses in our system more accurate and it would benefit redactors at the state, county, and municipal level by enabling them to protect that confidential information more efficiently.
