Bill > SR0030

This resolution appoints Lowell Russell to the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission, a state body responsible for developing and implementing law enforcement training programs. The resolution highlights Russell's extensive background in law enforcement, including his fourteen-year service with the Tennessee Highway Patrol, during which he was critically injured in the line of duty. Russell, a resident of Vonore who holds a criminal justice degree and has training from multiple law enforcement academies, was originally appointed to the POST Commission in 2017. The Tennessee Senate recognizes Russell's integrity, commitment to law enforcement, and dedication to public service, and is reappointing him in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 38-8-102, which allows the Senate to appoint one citizen to the commission. The resolution also includes provisions to transmit copies of the resolution to the POST Commission's leadership and to prepare a copy for presentation to Russell himself.
