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 176 is a non-binding resolution expressing support for U.S. and New Jersey law enforcement officers, urging all government levels to improve their safety and well-being. It highlights concerning statistics, including over 200 officer deaths in the line of duty (2021-2023) and rising assault rates, and recommends specific actions: increasing officer staffing, enhancing equipment/training, strengthening penalties for assaults on officers, and expanding mental health resources. The resolution directly affects law enforcement officers nationwide by calling for concrete policy changes to address safety and support gaps. It does not create new laws but formally urges government action based on documented challenges faced by officers.
