Assembly Resolution No. 13

BY: M. of A. Ra

        MEMORIALIZING  Governor  Kathy  Hochul to proclaim
        January 9, 2025, as Law Enforcement Appreciation Day
        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 Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 9, 2025,  as  Law  Enforcement
Appreciation  Day  in  the  State  of  New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day; 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 friends,
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 daily 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  Kathy  Hochul to proclaim January 9, 2025, as Law
Enforcement Appreciation Day 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 Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of  New
York.
