It describes the program as Provide a gym/wellness space for first responders, for a target population of first responders, law enforcement and other emergency responders. Its statement of impact repeats Exhibit E's own words, provision of wellness and support services for first responders and others who experience secondary trauma associated with opioid related emergency events (p3). It files the program under Workforce Development and Capacity Building and the Schedule B strategy First Responders, funded 33,946.50 and expended 30,658.50, with 70 participants (pp2 to 3). The books show purchase order 25-01653 to Fitness Lifestyles, Inc., ordered 04/11/2025, every line PD Gym Equipment, paid by check 70259 on 06/25/2025.

Invoice O-3632-01 is weight trees, slam balls, a TRX trainer and a shrug bar, 1,369.80. Credit T-4340 takes back 3,201.80 of returned items. The five lines net to the certified figure to the cent. Every invoice is sold to the Wall Township Police Dept, and none names a counselor, a clinician, a peer support service or a wellness program. Exhibit E's workforce items cover addiction professionals and behavioral health workers who address opioid use disorder. Its First Responders category adds a closed list of two items to the first-responder items in sections C, D and H, and the one the report quotes supports wellness and support services for responders who experience secondary trauma from opioid emergencies. The report's own case for the program is that exercise lowers risk factors for opioid use disorder and improves mood, resilience and coping in officers' daily routine (p4). The report names a gym, but the category and the services wording do not describe it.
