It notes that the state has more than 700 such leaders overseeing about 45,000 sworn peace officers, and praises the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police for its role in training and professional standards.

It formally commends police chiefs and agency heads for their service and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the president and executive director of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police.
