Bill > HR323

This resolution commends the Georgia Chapter of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), a not-for-profit public service organization founded in 1976 that focuses on advancing the interests of Black law enforcement professionals. The resolution highlights the Georgia Chapter's establishment in 1984 and its significant contributions to law enforcement, including providing leadership training, promoting positive community-police relationships, and advancing criminal justice policies. The chapter is particularly notable for having elected nine national presidents, including Fulton County Sheriff Jackie Barrett, who was the first woman and first African American woman elected as a national sheriff in the United States. The resolution specifically recognizes the organization's commitment to principles such as respect, integrity, accountability, and community engagement, and officially designates March 6, 2025, as Georgia Chapter of NOBLE Day at the state capitol. The resolution also directs the House Clerk to provide an official copy of the resolution to the Georgia Chapter of NOBLE as a formal acknowledgment of their 41 years of service and important contributions to law enforcement and community relations.
