En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It states that Georgia has more than 700 police chiefs and heads of law enforcement agencies overseeing roughly 45,000 sworn peace officers, and it praises the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police for training and professional standards work. The resolution formally designates February 11, 2026 as Police Chiefs and Head of Law Enforcement Agencies Recognition Day at the Capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the association's president, Chief Anita Allen, and its executive director, A. A. Butch Ayers. The resolution does not create any new legal requirements, funding, or penalties.
