S 1075 New Jersey Senate · 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 provide ongoing funding for a 24-hour confidential hotline supporting New Jersey law enforcement officers. It appropriates $500,000 annually from the General Fund starting in 2025 to sustain the existing "Law Enforcement Officer Crisis Intervention Services" program, which offers peer counseling and referrals for officers experiencing work-related stress, trauma, or mental health challenges. The hotline, operated by Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care, maintains confidentiality for callers and connects officers to services like peer support and therapy. The fund supplements current funding from Body Armor Replacement Funds ($400,000 annually) to ensure program stability.
