The system doesn't always work as planned
While New Jersey's Code Blue system is meant to protect some of the state's most vulnerable residents in cold and inclement weather, it doesn't always work as planned. We talk with Ashley Balcerzak, a reporter for NorthJersey.com who recently reported on the state's Code Blue protocols. She tracked the story of one homeless man in Bergen County whose situation represents failures in the system.
