fellow citizens in times of need, no matter how dangerous or
difficult the situation; and

law-enforcement officers who have distinguished themselves with
unselfish and exemplary services to the community and its citizens;
therefore, be it

officers, personnel, officials and agencies for their commitment
and dedication to protecting the citizens of this State; and, be it
