New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness

Who We Are:

The Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness is an office created by Executive Order 5 in March of 2006 after a bi-partisan Homeland Security and Public Safety Transition Policy Group submitted their recommendations to the incoming Governor.

The office is led by Acting Director Jared Maples and comprised of four Divisions: Division of Intelligence, Division of Policy and Planning, Division of Cybersecurity and Division of Administration with twelve bureaus. The Office is primarily housed in Hamilton with a satellite office in Newark.

The Office is designated as the State Administrative Agency (SAA) for all federal homeland security and preparedness funding.
