Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 26, 2025, as Law Enforcement Suicide Awareness Day in the State of New York

This resolution (K 787) asks Governor Hochul to officially declare September 26, 2025, as Law Enforcement Suicide Awareness Day in New York State. It directly affects the public and law enforcement community by raising awareness about suicide prevention, referencing national observances and statistics showing over 1,200 law enforcement deaths by suicide between 2016-2022. The resolution does not create new laws or programs but requests a ceremonial proclamation to honor fallen officers and reduce stigma around mental health support. It aligns with National Law Enforcement Suicide Awareness Day established by Blue H.E.L.P in 2020.
