HR201: HR201 Police Chiefs and Heads of Law Enforcement Agencies Recognition Day at the state capitol; March 6, 2025; recognize

This resolution does not change any Georgia law. It is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring the more than 700 police chiefs and heads of law enforcement agencies in the state, who the resolution says oversee roughly 45,000 sworn peace officers. The resolution formally designates March 6, 2025 as Police Chiefs and Heads of Law Enforcement Agencies Recognition Day at the state capitol and commends these officials for their service. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to leaders of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police, naming Scott Gray as President and A. A. Butch Ayers as Executive Director.

• Designates March 6, 2025 as Police Chiefs and Heads of Law Enforcement Agencies Recognition Day at the Georgia state capitol.
• Commends every police chief and head of a law enforcement agency in Georgia for their service to the public.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to two named leaders of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulation; it is a symbolic statement of recognition rather than a binding legal change.

The resolution names police chiefs and heads of law enforcement agencies across Georgia, the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police and its named leaders, and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who is tasked with distributing copies of the resolution.

Because this is a ceremonial resolution rather than a law, it does not change any rights, duties, funding, or penalties for Georgians. Its practical effect is limited to a formal day of recognition at the capitol and copies of the resolution sent to law enforcement leadership groups.

• The whereas clauses state that Georgia has more than 700 police chiefs and heads of law enforcement agencies overseeing about 45,000 sworn peace officers.
• The resolving clause designates March 6, 2025 as Police Chiefs and Heads of Law Enforcement Agencies Day at the state capitol.
• The final clause directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to Scott Gray and A. A. Butch Ayers of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police.
