In this episode of Regulatory Oversight, Stephen Piepgrass is joined by RISE partner Chris Carlson and New Jersey First Assistant Attorney General (AG) Lyndsay Ruotolo for a deep dive into the unique structure, scope, and impact of the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General (OAG). Lyndsay shares how her career in prosecution, county leadership, and federal service shaped a broad, modern view of public safety — one that spans criminal justice, consumer protection, health, and community well-being.

Their conversation covers the OAG's expansive authority, its ability to issue statewide directives, and how close collaboration with law enforcement, communities, and industry is driving measurable results across New Jersey. From a first-of-its-kind active violent event directive and redesigned sexual violence response, to the Arrive Together co-responder model and data-driven gun violence reduction, Lyndsay explains how New Jersey pairs policy, training, and partnerships with transparency and accountability. Chris and Lyndsay also discuss practical guidance for businesses on engaging with the state, plus insights into cross-state AG collaboration that transcends party lines to advance public safety.
