HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 15
(By Mr. Thompson, Mr. Speaker, and Delegates Craig,
Miley, M. Poling and Ross)
Designating February 4, 2010, as "Law-Enforcement Appreciation
Day".
Whereas, West Virginia can boast as having one of the lowest
crime rates in the United States; and
Whereas, It is fitting and proper that law-enforcement officers
be commended, encouraged and honored for their contributions that
have resulted in these statistics; and
Whereas, Law-enforcement officers give generously of themselves
both in spirit and deed so others might share in the joy of living
in a free and democratic society; and
Whereas, Law-enforcement officers have the desire to help their
fellow citizens in times of need, no matter how dangerous or
difficult the situation; and
Whereas, We honor and appreciate the outstanding
law-enforcement officers who have distinguished themselves with
unselfish and exemplary service to the community and its citizens;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the House of Delegates hereby declares February 4, 2010,
as "Law-Enforcement Appreciation Day"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That all West Virginians are encouraged to
give due recognition to law-enforcement officers for distinguishing
West Virginia with one of the lowest crime rates in America.
