   SCR 96, as amended, Correa. California Peace Officers' Memorial
Day.
   This measure would designate Friday, May 7, 2010, as California
Peace Officers' Memorial Day and would urge all Californians to use
that day to honor California peace officers.
   Fiscal committee: no.



   WHEREAS, May 7, 2010, is California Peace Officers' Memorial Day,
a day Californians observe in commemoration of those noble officers
who have tragically sacrificed their lives in the line of duty; and
   WHEREAS, Although California citizens are indebted to our
California peace officers each day of the week, we make particular
note of their bravery and dedication and we share in their losses on
California Peace Officers' Memorial Day; and
   WHEREAS, California peace officers have a job second in importance
to none, and it is a job that is as difficult and dangerous as it is
important; and
   WHEREAS, The peace officers of California have worked dutifully
and selflessly on behalf of the people of this great state,
regardless of the peril or hazard to themselves; and
   WHEREAS, By the enforcement of our laws, these same officers have
safeguarded the lives and property of the citizens of California and
have given their full measure to ensure those citizens the right to
be free from crime and violence; and
   WHEREAS, Special ceremonies and observations on behalf of
California peace officers provide all Californians with the
opportunity to appreciate the heroic men and women who have dedicated
their lives to preserving public safety; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That California's peace officers who were killed

to remember those individuals who gave their lives for our safety and
express appreciation to those who continue to dedicate themselves to
making California a safer place in which to live and raise our
families; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
