Strengthening Public Safety Through Action

  Let us make 2026 a safer year for both our law enforcement officers and the communities they protect. Training is essential, but it must be matched by accountability, enforcement, and meaningful support from our political and judicial leaders.

  I look forward to meeting with the Governor and the Attorney General to discuss the immediate needs of law enforcement. While increased funding for initiatives such as auto crime enforcement is encouraging, financial support alone is insufficient if penalties are not consistently imposed and enforced. Without accountability, communities remain at risk.

  Public safety requires a collective commitment to enforce the law and ensure that offenders are held accountable—regardless of age. While individuals are in custody, opportunities for education, job skills, and rehabilitation should be provided to support long-term change. However, meaningful accountability must remain the foundation of our justice system

Addressing Operational Realities

  Although significant efforts are being made at the national level to disrupt international drug trafficking, many officers continue to report insufficient manpower at the local level to enforce narcotics laws effectively. Drugs, guns, gangs, and human trafficking are deeply interconnected, and a lack of resources and enforcement undermines public safety across all fronts.

Standing Together for Our Communities

  NJNEOA remains committed to supporting law enforcement through advanced training, advocacy, and collaboration. We call on our partners, policymakers, and community leaders to stand with us as we work to protect our neighborhoods and ensure the safety of all residents.

  Together, through preparation, accountability, and decisive action, we can make a lasting difference in 2026 and beyond.
