Senate Resolution No. 2267

BY: Senator AKSHAR

        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        January  6-12, 2020, as Law Enforcement Appreciation
        Week in the State of New York

  WHEREAS, New York State has long been committed  to  supporting  its
law enforcement professionals; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to memorialize
Governor Andrew  M.  Cuomo  to  proclaim  January  6-12,  2020,  as  Law
Enforcement  Appreciation  Week in the State of New York, in conjunction
with the observance of National  Law  Enforcement  Appreciation  Day  on
January 9, 2020; and

  WHEREAS,  Throughout  the State of New York, various law enforcement
advocacy organizations will  be  observing  this  well-deserved  day  of
appreciation of our law enforcement members; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  increasingly  being recognized that the jobs which
these professionals face in their lines of duty are both  dangerous  and
difficult; and

  WHEREAS,  The Day of National Law Enforcement Appreciation is a time
to recognize and reflect on the sacrifice which so many of  our  friend,
family,  and fellow New Yorkers make on a daily basis to keep us safe in
our homes, places of work, and on the streets; and

  WHEREAS, Recognizing the importance of the work that law enforcement
conducts on a daily basis whether it be tackling petty crime  or  taking
down   foreign  terror  operations  to  keep  New  Yorkers  safe,  these
professionals are among the best our State has to  offer,  being  highly
skilled,  disciplined,  and  well  trained  to execute their duties with
courage and bravery; and

  WHEREAS, It is increasingly dangerous to perform  these  jobs  in  a
world  where law enforcement are targeted for the uniforms they wear and
the duties they perform in the line of service; and

  WHEREAS, By focusing on the importance of those  who  serve  in  law
enforcement,  we would hope to bring attention to the difficulties their
jobs present and the bravery so many exude in their everyday  lives;  we
may also highlight that too often New York law enforcement professionals
from  across  our great State are not appreciated and give them a moment
to know that New York stands behind them; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
memorialize  Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim January 6-12, 2020, as
Law Enforcement Appreciation Week in the  State  of  New  York,  and  to
applaud those who have dedicated their lives to keeping New Yorkers safe
from  criminals,  terrorists,  and  those who would otherwise do harm to
them; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to  The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of
New York.
