Rep. Marleau offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 330.
A resolution to declare September 2010 as Auxiliary Police Officers Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas; Auxiliary police are specially trained volunteer citizens granted the authority to enforce the law to protect and serve our local communities; and
Whereas; We join the family of Lt. Dan Kromer of the Taylor Auxiliary Police in honoring a life that was cut tragically short on September 7, 2010; and
Whereas; According to the Reserve Police Officers Association, there have been at least 26 police volunteers in the United States since November 2001 that have been killed in the line of duty including Lt. Dan Kromer; and
Whereas; Municipalities throughout Michigan utilize auxiliary officers in support of professional law enforcement and during times of emergency; and
Whereas; Michigan contains some of our nation's most active auxiliary police forces with Taylor Police Department's 45 volunteer officers donating over 14,000 hours and the Oakland County Sheriff's Reserve of 100 officers donating more than 20,000 hours from traffic patrol and local events to major special events throughout Michigan; and .
Whereas; This invaluable group of citizens is being honored for their commitment and dedication to the safety of our communities at the risk of their own lives; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2010 as Auxiliary Police Officers Month to recognize the sacrifices of our volunteer police forces; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, the City of Taylor Police Department, Mrs. Shannon Edwards and Mrs. Joyce Kromer.
