Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan, in an effort to expand community awareness, has developed the Middlesex Out-Reach and Education (M.O.R.E.) unit of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office. This is a proactive unit which vigorously reaches out to the citizenry of our county. It is the belief of this office, that through education and cooperation between county residents and law enforcement, a reduction in crime and violence can be achieved. It is also the Prosecutor's belief that through outreach education the community itself will be informed of the various types of criminal activity, thereby providing a valuable resource to the law enforcement agencies investigating and prosecuting these matters. M.O.R.E., in conjunction with the local police departments, will operate under the premise that the community and law enforcement is a necessary partnership.
