“Police officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities, yet too often they do not receive the essential mental health support they need by nature of their profession. This can exact a toll, both professionally and personally.” (Official legislative newsroom (nyassembly.gov))

This bill is about supporting the men and women who protect us every day by ensuring that they have the mental health resources they need to effectively serve communities across the state.” (Official legislative newsroom (nyassembly.gov))
“I am proud that we have passed this legislation, and that today the Governor is signing this bill, in memory of Lieutenant Joseph T. Banish, a State Trooper who died by suicide.” (Official legislative newsroom (nyassembly.gov))
