AI Summary
This concurrent resolution expresses support for law enforcement officers in New Jersey and across the United States, urging all levels of government to take significant steps to enhance their safety and well-being. The resolution highlights the dangerous nature of law enforcement work, noting the high number of assaults and line-of-duty deaths, as well as the significant psychological toll officers endure due to frequent exposure to traumatic events, which contributes to a higher suicide rate.

To address these issues, the resolution suggests actions such as increasing the number of officers, improving their equipment and training, imposing stricter penalties for crimes against officers, and expanding mental health support services.
