Expresses support for US and NJ law enforcement officers; urges all levels of government to take action to increase support, safety, and well-being of law enforcement officers.
ACR 109 is a symbolic resolution passed by the New Jersey legislature expressing support for U.S. and New Jersey law enforcement officers. It urges all levels of government to take action to improve officer safety and well-being through concrete steps like increasing staffing, enhancing equipment and training, strengthening penalties for assaults on officers, and expanding mental health resources. The resolution directly affects law enforcement officers nationwide by calling for systemic support measures, though it does not create new laws or funding. It was introduced in January 2026 and referred to the Assembly Public Safety Committee, reflecting bipartisan concern over rising officer assaults and mental health challenges.
