After years of mounting tragedies and stalled legislative efforts, New York lawmakers have passed a “game changing” bill aimed at tackling the growing mental health crisis among law enforcement officers. In a rare show of bipartisan unity, the bill, introduced in 2019 by Long Island Assemblywoman Judy Griffin and championed by Nassau PBA President Tommy Shevlin, unanimously passed both chambers of the state legislature. 3 New York is currently on pace to double last year’s number of police suicides.
