Bill > SCR0013

This concurrent resolution urges the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to rename a specific one-mile segment of Interstate 65 (between mile markers 137 and 138 in Boone County) as the "Deputy Jacob M. Pickett Memorial Mile" to honor the life and service of Deputy Jake Pickett. The resolution provides context about Pickett's life, including his law enforcement career at the Marion County and Boone County Sheriff's Offices, his work as a K-9 handler, and his tragic death on March 2, 2018, during a foot pursuit while serving a warrant. The resolution highlights Pickett's community service, including school interactions and charitable work, and notes that after being fatally shot, he donated his organs. It also mentions that his wife established the Jake Pickett Response Organization to support law enforcement families. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit copies of the resolution to Pickett's family and the INDOT Commissioner, serving as an official recognition of Deputy Pickett's sacrifice and dedication to public service.
