AI Summary
This resolution honors Sergeant William Conley Jumper, a Greenville County sheriff's deputy who served for 28 years and was killed in the line of duty on Interstate Highway 85 in 2020. The resolution requests that the South Carolina Department of Transportation officially rename a specific section of Interstate 85 (between S. Old Piedmont Highway and Interstate 185) as "Sgt. W.C. Jumper Highway" in recognition of his service. Throughout his career, Jumper was primarily a canine handler, working with a narcotics detection dog named Tango and patrolling a highway corridor known for drug trafficking. The resolution highlights Jumper's dedication to protecting his community and proposes to memorialize his sacrifice by naming the road where he lost his life. The document also instructs that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Department of Transportation to facilitate the highway designation.
