En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recounts Deputy Anthony Pacifico's service with the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office since 2018, including his time as a patrol deputy and his selection to the Special Operations Division as a K-9 handler in 2024. The resolution describes an incident on October 25, 2025, when Pacifico and fellow deputies responded to a welfare check and a suspect armed with a knife attacked Deputy Nicolas Glass. It states that Pacifico intervened to stop the attack and protect his partner. The Senate resolves to recognize and commend him for this action, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to him for distribution.
