STATEMENT
This Assembly Resolution recognizes and honors the selfless and heroic service of law enforcement officers in this State and throughout the country.
As a nation, we rely on law enforcement officers to keep our neighborhoods safe, enforce our laws, and respond in times of crisis. From combating terror and staking out criminals to patrolling our highways, law enforcement officers maintain stability in our communities, resulting in a more secure nation.
Further, law enforcement officers in this State and throughout the nation are routinely called upon to serve and protect their fellow citizens by responding to horrendous events and acting heroically to save the lives of others. Every day law enforcement officers face the threat of violence and danger and put their lives in jeopardy to defend others, potentially resulting in injury, disability, or even death.
Therefore, it is appropriate to recognize and honor the selfless and heroic service of law enforcement officers and their invaluable contributions to upholding justice, enforcing the rule of law, and protecting the innocent.
