Designating February 4, 2010, as "Law Enforcement Appreciation

Whereas, West Virginia can boast as having one of the lowest

of living in a free and democratic society; and

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 Senate:
That the Senate hereby declares February 4, 2010, as "Law
Enforcement Appreciation Day"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Senate is proud of the men and
women who daily put their lives on the line and who uphold the
creed "To protect and serve"; and, be it
Further Resolved,
T
hat all West Virginians are encouraged to
