Designating February 13,2007, 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

both in spirit and deed so others might share in the joy of living
in a free and democratic society; and

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 services to the community and its citizens;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the Legislature hereby declares February 13,2007, 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
