RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending police chiefs and other heads of law enforcement agencies in the
State of Georgia; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
there are more than 600 police chiefs and heads of law enforcement agencies who
provide a critical service, managing approximately 40,000 sworn peace officers
in Georgia; and
WHEREAS,
the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police is an organization of honorable men
and women dedicated to the preservation of the life and property of Georgia's
citizens in a professional and ethical manner; and
WHEREAS,
these brave law enforcement leaders provide public service that is above and
beyond the call of duty, often at great personal risk and tremendous sacrifice
not only of themselves but of their families; and
WHEREAS,
from the time of their initial police chief training provided by the Georgia
Association of Chiefs of Police, and throughout their careers, each member has
demonstrated continuous loyalty to the call to serve and has combined and
increased their public safety effectiveness through cooperation with state,
county, and local government officials; and
WHEREAS,
the police chiefs and heads of law enforcement agencies of Georgia support the
continuous elevation of standards and training of law enforcement managers and
have been instrumental in increasing the public's awareness of methods for
avoiding being victims of crime; and
WHEREAS,
it is only fitting and proper that the police chiefs and heads of law
enforcement agencies of Georgia be recognized for their many sacrifices and
outstanding and courageous contributions to the citizens of this
state.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend
each chief of police and head of a law enforcement agency in this state for his
or her outstanding commitment to the people of this state.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Director of Police
Services Stan York, President of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police,
