Bill > HCR2045

This concurrent resolution honors and expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, first responders, and Arizona Rangers for their critical services to the state. The resolution acknowledges these professionals as fundamental to civil society, highlighting their daily risks, selflessness, and commitment to public safety. It specifically recognizes that first responders, including police, fire services, emergency medical services, search and rescue teams, and the Arizona Rangers, serve communities by responding to emergencies, providing security, supporting youth organizations, and volunteering. The resolution emphasizes the unique challenges these professionals face, such as making split-second life-altering decisions in stressful environments and often serving on a volunteer basis without monetary compensation. Notably, the resolution pays special tribute to the Arizona Rangers, established in state statute in 2002, and sheriffs, whom it describes as the "last line of defense" for American citizens. The legislative body formally resolves to honor these individuals, recognize their rich history, and express sincere gratitude for their unparalleled public service in creating and maintaining safe communities.
