S 1325 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Encourages wearing blue to honor law enforcement officers on Peace Officers Memorial Day.

S 1325 designates May 15th as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" in New Jersey and encourages citizens and local governments to wear blue on this day to honor law enforcement officers. The bill amends existing law to specifically recommend that local units promote wearing blue and citizens wear blue as a visible sign of appreciation for officers who protect communities. This is a symbolic observance measure - not a requirement - and applies to all New Jersey residents and local governments, building on the existing designation of May 15th for memorial activities. The bill does not create new legal obligations but seeks to foster public recognition of law enforcement service.
