A 4243 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Fallen Law Enforcement Officer Memorial Commission;" appropriates $2.5 million.

This bill establishes the "Fallen Law Enforcement Officer Memorial Commission" within New Jersey's Department of Law and Public Safety to design and oversee construction of a memorial in Monmouth County honoring officers who died in the line of duty. The commission, consisting of seven members (three police association representatives and four public members including a retired officer), must select a location and design within 18 months and submit a final report to the Governor and Legislature. It appropriates $2.5 million from the General Fund to a dedicated "Fallen Law Enforcement Officer Memorial Fund" for the memorial’s design and construction costs. The memorial will serve as a permanent tribute to fallen officers, with the commission managing the fund and project timeline.
