SR366: SR366 Law Enforcement Appreciation Day; recognize March 10, 2025

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes March 10, 2025 as Law Enforcement Appreciation Day at the Capitol and praises Georgia law enforcement officers, including sheriffs, police departments, the Georgia State Patrol, Capitol Police, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, for their work protecting communities. The resolution also references the Georgia Public Safety Memorial Wall, which honors officers who died in the line of duty. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to Georgia law enforcement officers. It does not create any new legal requirement, funding, or penalty; it is a formal expression of appreciation.
