S 3372 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires issuance of tourniquets to law enforcement officers; requires emergency service vehicles be equipped with tourniquets.

This bill requires all New Jersey law enforcement officers - including State troopers, county police, and municipal police - to be issued tourniquets for emergency use. It also mandates that all basic life support ambulances and mobility assistance vehicles (emergency medical vehicles) must have tourniquets available while in service. Funding for the tourniquets for law enforcement would come from existing criminal forfeiture funds, and the Attorney General and Commissioner of Health are authorized to create implementation guidelines. The bill aims to standardize access to this medical tool, which is not currently required for all officers or emergency vehicles under existing regulations.
