Bill > SR48

This resolution mourns the line-of-duty death of Summit Police Officer Troy Floyd, a 27-year law enforcement veteran from Lincoln County, Mississippi. The document provides a detailed biographical sketch highlighting Floyd's life and career, noting he was a native of the Clear Branch Community who graduated from Brookhaven High School in 1991 and worked in his family's restaurant before pursuing a career in law enforcement. Floyd served in multiple capacities across various law enforcement agencies, including as a jailer, patrol officer, and parole agent with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, Mississippi Department of Corrections, and Wesson and Summit Police Departments. Described by colleagues as compassionate, community-oriented, and particularly dedicated to working with children through programs like DARE, Floyd was also a devoted member of Bethel Temple Pentecostal Church. The resolution formally acknowledges his service, extends condolences to his family and friends, and calls for the document to be presented to his surviving family, forwarded to the Summit Police Chief and Lincoln County Sheriff, and made available to the Capitol Press Corps as a tribute to his memory and sacrifice.
