HR2016: HR2016 Middle Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office and the Emanuel County Sheriff's Office; commend

This House resolution formally honors two Georgia law enforcement offices, the Middle Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office and the Emanuel County Sheriff's Office, for a joint investigation in November 2025 into a child sex trafficking operation. The investigation led to the arrest and federal indictment of four individuals connected to the exploitation of five minor victims. The resolution specifically names District Attorney Tripp Fitzner, Chief Investigator Rocky Davis, Sheriff Jeffrey Brewer, and Investigator Michael Reddish for their roles in combining offices and resources to follow the case from Emanuel County to Savannah and Atlanta. It notes that the two offices were recognized by United States Attorney General Pam Bondi for their work. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press, but it does not change any Georgia law.
