S 406 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Encourages wearing blue to honor law enforcement officers on Peace Officers Memorial Day.

S 406 designates May 15 as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" in New Jersey and encourages all citizens, local governments, and communities to wear blue on that day to honor law enforcement officers. The bill amends existing law to specifically promote wearing blue as a visible sign of appreciation for officers who protect public safety, including those killed or injured in the line of duty. It also maintains existing provisions for flying the U.S. flag at half-staff and organizing commemorative ceremonies. This is a symbolic measure focused on recognition, not new policy or funding.
