RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending School Resource Officer Shane Hope; and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS,
School Resource Officer (SRO) Shane Hope of the Glynn County Schools Police has
been recognized with a Valor Service Award from the Peace Officers Association
of Georgia; and
WHEREAS,
SRO Hope is highly regarded by the citizens of his community and state and by
local government officials as a person of unquestioned integrity and dedication
to the sound principles of law enforcement; and
WHEREAS,
SRO Hope was tactically aware when an angry parent at Brunswick High School
retrieved a 9mm pistol from his vehicle and walked up to him and Chief Rod Ellis
in absolute rage and proceeded to spew expletives; and
WHEREAS,
SRO Hope drew his weapon on the subject and waited for several tense moments
while he pleaded for the man not to reach for his pistol while SRO Mark Hopper
maneuvered around behind the man undetected and skillfully disarmed him;
and
WHEREAS,
SRO Hope used his training and experience as well as cool determination in
bringing a peaceful end to the situation; and
WHEREAS,
it is abundantly fitting and proper that the extraordinary accomplishments of
this distinguished Georgian be appropriately recognized.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body commend the courageous and selfless dedication of School Resource
Officer Shane Hope and recognize him for receiving the Valor Service Award from
the Peace Officers Association of Georgia.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to School
Resource Officer Shane Hope.
