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, 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 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 West Virginian with one of the lowest crime rates in America.
