A 3776 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Cop 2 Cop Sustainability Fund" to support "Law Enforcement Officer Crisis Intervention Services" Cop 2 Cop telephone hotline program; appropriates $500,000.

This bill establishes the "Cop 2 Cop Sustainability Fund" to secure ongoing funding for New Jersey's existing 24-hour confidential hotline program supporting law enforcement officers. It appropriates $500,000 annually from the General Fund starting in fiscal year 2025 to sustain the "Law Enforcement Officer Crisis Intervention Services" hotline, which provides peer support and referrals for officers experiencing psychological distress, trauma, or stress related to their work. The fund supplements current funding from Body Armor Replacement Funds ($400,000 annually) and ensures the program, operated by Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care, remains available without interruption. The program directly serves active and retired New Jersey law enforcement officers and their families.
