HR 1241: Robison, Alpharetta Public Safety Director John; Georgia's 2025 Outstanding Police Chief of the Year; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Alpharetta Public Safety Director John Robison for his career in law enforcement, which began in 2002 with the Alpharetta Police Department and included service as Chief of Police in Powder Springs before he became Alpharetta's Director of Public Safety in 2017. The resolution highlights his education, his leadership roles with the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police, his teaching at Georgia State University and Reinhardt University, and his authorship of a book on leadership. The House resolves to commend Robison and directs the Clerk of the House to provide him a copy of the resolution.

• Formally recognizes and commends John Robison for being named Georgia's 2025 Outstanding Police Chief of the Year.
• States the House's congratulations for his leadership of the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Robison.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement, serving only as a ceremonial statement.

The resolution directly names and honors Alpharetta Public Safety Director John Robison. It has no legal effect on other individuals, agencies, or the public, though it reflects recognition within Georgia's law enforcement community, including the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police.

The resolution carries symbolic rather than legal weight. It does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose requirements; its practical effect is a formal, public acknowledgment from the state legislature of one official's career and recent honor.

• The whereas clauses recount Robison's career history, from joining the Alpharetta Police Department in 2002 to becoming Alpharetta's Director of Public Safety in 2017.
• The resolved clause commends Robison's leadership and congratulates him on being named Georgia's 2025 Outstanding Chief of the Year.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy of the resolution available to Robison.
