A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE FLORENCE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE PRO-ACTIVE CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT (PACE) UNIT, AND TO CONGRATULATE ITS MEMBERS FOR BEING NAMED THE INTERDICTION TEAM OF THE YEAR FOR 2011 BY THE NATIONAL CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to learn that the Florence County Sheriff's Office Pro-Active Criminal Enforcement (PACE) unit was named the Interdiction Team of the Year for 2011 by the National Criminal Enforcement Association (NCEA) at its annual conference held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in March 2012; and
Whereas, founded in 1999, NCEA is recognized as the leading organization for the training and networking of criminal enforcement officers in the nation and has more than 4,500 members; and
Whereas, for two consecutive years, the Florence County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) PACE unit has received the NCEA's prestigious national award; and
Whereas, accomplishing more than the customary seizure of crack cocaine from a drug "bust" or two a year, this nationally recognized PACE team trains citizens and works continually in communities across Florence County; and
Whereas, Captain Brett Camp, who heads up the FCSO's PACE team, responds to calls from the concerned citizens within the county and attempts to resolve reported problems in and around troubled neighborhoods; and
Whereas, because of the direct link between drugs and violent crime, FCSO's PACE unit aggressively dedicates resources to drug interdiction in an attempt to provide safe communities for the citizens of Florence County; and
Whereas, to be recognized for the second year in a row as the best interdiction team in the nation by NCEA reflects on the outstanding leadership of the FCSO and the continuing efforts of the deputies to keep their residents safe; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the pride and recognition that the Florence County Sheriff's Office Pro-Active Criminal Enforcement (PACE) unit has brought to its community and to the Palmetto State, and for the selfless and heroic work of its members in providing protection for our citizens. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Florence County Sheriff's Office Pro-Active Criminal Enforcement (PACE) unit, and congratulate its members for being named the Interdiction Team of the Year for 2011 by the National Criminal Enforcement Association.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to the Florence County Sheriff's Office Pro-Active Criminal Enforcement (PACE) unit.
