WHEREAS, Of all the promises America offers, none is more elusive or precious than the right to be free from crime and violence; and

WHEREAS, Californians are indebted every day to our peace officers, and we pay special tribute to their bravery and dedication and share in their pain when one of their members is killed in the line of duty; and

WHEREAS, The men and women of law enforcement have the unenviable task of guaranteeing the public’s safety and it is as difficult and dangerous as it is important, as evidenced by the death, at 40 years of age, of Deputy Hagop “Jake” Kuredjian of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, who was tragically shot and killed on August 31, 2001, in the City of Santa Clarita; and

WHEREAS, Deputy Kuredjian faithfully served the residents of the County of Los Angeles as a deputy sheriff; and

WHEREAS, Deputy Kuredjian stated that the reason he became a law enforcement officer was to be a peacekeeper and community guardian; and

WHEREAS, Deputy Kuredjian worked to serve those that needed his service, help those who needed help, and protect those that couldn’t protect themselves, and, as a deputy sheriff, he was praised by his peers, supervisors, and members of the community for his tireless efforts to protect people, prevent incidents, and serve as a leader; and

WHEREAS, It is appropriate to recognize the hazardous work, serious responsibility, and strong commitment that Deputy Kuredjian willingly accepted during his 17 years as a law enforcement officer; and

WHEREAS, Deputy Kuredjian is remembered as a dedicated and devoted son to Anahid, and role model for his brothers Raffi and Garo, and a man who committed his life, beliefs, and career to the County of Los Angeles and the safety of its residents; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the portion of Interstate 5 between the Pico-Lyons Overcrossing, 53-1783, at postmile R50.326, and the McBean Parkway Overcrossing, 53-2057, at postmile R51.442, in the City of Santa Clarita in the County of Los Angeles as the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Hagop “Jake” Kuredjian Memorial Highway; and be it further

Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to determine the cost of appropriate signs, consistent with the signing requirements for the state highway system, showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources sufficient to cover the cost, to erect those signs; and be it further

Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the Director of Transportation and to the author for appropriate distribution.
