I did a Google search on the words new jersey state police accidental discharge p7. One of the results was a link to the e-book version of Massad Ayoob's 2007 book "The Gun Digest Book of Combat Handgunnery". The link is VERY long, so I will not post it here. But in the book, Ayoob does mention the adoption of the HK P7 by the New Jersey State Police in 1984, but does NOT mention any accidental discharges in service with them. In the next paragraph, speaking of the gun in general and not New Jersey in particular, Ayoob remarks "Many instructors associated the design with a likelihood of accidental discharge." He does not elaborate on this.
I could not come up with any actual incidents of accidental discharge by the NJSP, but given how long the guns have been out of service, that does not mean much.
