Recognizing the Little Elm Police Department on the occasion of Police Week in Texas.

Impact

The resolution aligns with national observances, as the 87th United States Congress and President John F. Kennedy established May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day. This initiative aims to foster a culture of respect and gratitude towards law enforcement while encouraging citizens to reflect on the responsibilities and challenges faced by these officers. It represents a commitment to honoring both current and fallen law enforcement personnel.

Summary

Senate Resolution 789 recognizes the Little Elm Police Department in Texas on the occasion of Police Week. This resolution serves to honor and celebrate the courageous efforts of peace officers who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting their communities. It emphasizes the importance of police work, particularly during a designated time where the contributions of law enforcement officers are acknowledged statewide.

Contention

Given its nature as a resolution rather than a legislative bill, SR789 does not create new laws or amend existing ones. However, it has the potential to spur community engagement and support for local law enforcement. By spotlighting the Little Elm Police Department, the resolution encourages other communities to recognize their police forces, potentially leading to a broader dialogue about the role of law enforcement in society.
