SR 1057: Glass, Deputy Nicolas; recognize and commend

This is a commendation resolution, a formal statement from the Georgia Senate honoring a specific person rather than changing any law. It recognizes Deputy Nicolas Glass of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office for his service, including responding to more than 1,100 calls and serving as reporting officer on over 180 cases since joining Uniform Patrol. The resolution describes an incident on October 25, 2025, when Deputy Glass responded to a welfare check for a missing adult female and was attacked by an armed assailant with a knife, sustaining injuries to his face. It states he defended himself and alerted fellow deputies, helping stop the threat, and that the incident was later connected to a homicide. The Senate resolves to commend him and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide him a copy of the resolution.
