TL;DR Summary
New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin criticized Wildwood for not having enough police officers on its boardwalk during Memorial Day weekend, leading to disturbances and the temporary closure of the walkway. Local officials and police blame recent juvenile justice reforms for emboldening teens, while Platkin insists the issue lies with inadequate staffing and not the law itself. Wildwood plans to add more officers soon, but faces challenges in recruiting new law enforcement personnel.
