Bill > HJR1084

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion by the Tennessee General Assembly, honors and commends the Agricultural Crime Unit (ACU) of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture for reaching its twenty-fifth anniversary. The ACU, established in 2000, is a specialized unit of ten officers dedicated to investigating crimes that specifically impact Tennessee's agriculture and forestry industries, such as livestock and timber theft, farm equipment theft, animal cruelty, and agricultural fraud. The resolution highlights the unit's exemplary service, professionalism, and integrity under the leadership of Special Agent in Charge Greg Whitehead, noting their collaborative efforts with other law enforcement agencies and their crucial role in disaster response, including their assistance after Hurricane Helene in 2024. Ultimately, the resolution recognizes the ACU's significant contributions to rural safety, the preservation of valuable agricultural resources, and the upholding of Tennessee's farming and forestry heritage.
