Department of Law & Public Safety and related agencies
The Office of the Attorney General dates back to the establishment of New Jersey as a royal colony in 1704. It is one of three cabinet posts specifically mentioned in the state constitution of 1776.
By 1901, the state's legal office was referred to as the Law Department. In 1948, the Department of Law and Public Safety was created by merging the formerly separate departments of Law, State Police, Weights & Measures and Alcoholic Beverage Control.
