Bill Summary
A RESOLUTION recognizing and commending the law enforcement officers in the state of Georgia and the United States; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This resolution recognizes and commends law enforcement officers in Georgia and across the United States for their service and sacrifice, acknowledging the significant risks they face, including a high rate of assaults and traumatic events that contribute to a higher suicide rate compared to other workers. It highlights the dedication of over 800,000 officers nationwide, including more than 23,000 in Georgia, who work to protect communities and have contributed to crime rate reductions. The resolution also notes the challenging environment officers currently face, with a decrease in the number of sworn officers and increased hostility, while emphasizing the public's support for providing them with necessary equipment, training, and funding. Ultimately, the resolution calls for remembering and honoring officers and their families who have suffered line-of-duty deaths or injuries, supporting measures to enhance officer safety and well-being, and recognizing all currently serving officers.
