HR1065: HR1065 Police Chiefs and Heads of Law Enforcement Agencies Recognition Day at the Capitol; 02/11/26; recognize

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives sets aside February 11, 2026 to recognize police chiefs and heads of law enforcement agencies across Georgia. It notes there are more than 700 such leaders overseeing roughly 45,000 sworn peace officers statewide, and praises the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police for its role in training and professional standards. The resolution commends police chiefs and agency heads for their service and personal sacrifice, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the president and executive director of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police. It does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose any new requirements; it is a ceremonial statement by the House.
