SR1057: SR1057 Glass, Deputy Nicolas; recognize and commend

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recounts Deputy Nicolas Glass's service with the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office since May 2022, including his transfer to Uniform Patrol and assignment to the Oak Grove Precinct in 2025, where he handled over 1,100 calls for service. The resolution describes an incident on October 25, 2025, when Deputy Glass responded to a welfare check involving a missing adult woman and was attacked by an armed assailant with a knife, sustaining injuries to his face. It states he defended himself and alerted fellow deputies, actions credited with helping stop the threat, and notes the incident was later connected to a homicide. The Senate formally commends him and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide him a copy of the resolution.
