Bill Summary
This joint resolution designates July 30 of each year as "Brian Sicknick Day" in New Jersey. On January 6, 2021, Officer Brian Sicknick was called upon to protect the United States Capitol. Officer Sicknick, who had served with the United States Capitol Police for more than 12 years, lost his life in the line of duty as a direct result of courageously defending Congress and the Capitol. Officer Sicknick was born on July 30, 1978 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. His life can best be described as dedicated to public service. Officer Sicknick joined the United States Capitol Police in July of 2008 and on his most recent assignment he served on the First Responders Unit. During his career, Officer Sicknick became a member of the mountain bike unit. His duties included patrolling the grounds and protecting those he was sworn to serve, as well as the public at large that visited the Capitol on a daily basis. It is altogether fitting and proper to designate July 30 of each year as "Brian Sicknick Day" in New Jersey to recognize Officer Brian Sicknick, who lost his life protecting the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.
AI Summary
This joint resolution designates July 30th of each year as "Brian Sicknick Day" in New Jersey to honor Officer Brian Sicknick, a New Jersey native who served over 12 years with the United States Capitol Police, including in the First Responders Unit and on the mountain bike patrol, and who tragically lost his life in the line of duty on January 6, 2021, while courageously defending the U.S. Capitol and Congress. The resolution also respectfully requests the Governor to annually issue a proclamation recognizing this day, which falls on Officer Sicknick's birthday, to acknowledge his life of public service and ultimate sacrifice.
