Resolution of the Executive Committee and Officers of
Michigan’s 12th Congressional District Republican Party

Passed On 22 May 2021
 

IN SUPPORT OF AREA LAW ENFORCEMENT

 

WHEREAS every community requires law and order to succeed and thrive, and

 

WHEREAS the police force is a community’s primary “law” in the necessary “law and order”, and

 

WHEREAS a person’s right to bear arms to protect self and family is a necessity, but it is insufficient, as it still requires the assistance of the police to continue enforcing law and order, and

 

WHEREAS the police force often works nights, weekends and holidays when most of the community is at home with family, and

 

WHEREAS the Law Enforcement profession is a difficult profession, whether at the local, county, or state level, with pay not commensurate to the danger involved, and

 

WHEREAS a community’s police force is often put in harm’s way, and

 

WHEREAS the police must, at times, make a split-second decision with possible no-win and/or life-threatening consequences, and

 

WHEREAS necessary split-second decisions by a police officer can have lifelong emotional/mental/physical consequences on said police officer, and

 

WHEREAS a community relies on its police at home, on the road (accident or a crime), at school, place of employment, etc, and

 

WHEREAS  Wayne County and Washtenaw County Law Enforcement officials have consistently encouraged county residents to take CPL classes (which teach gun usage, practice, and safety) and purchase firearms for personal (& family) protection, and

 

WHEREAS a community often seems to take for granted, but should be thankful for the dedication of its police force.

 

THEREFORE IT IS RESOLVED that Michigan’s 12th Congressional District Republican Committee expresses its utmost appreciation and gratitude for our dedicated police force; City, County, and State.

 

Approved by the Michigan’s 12th District Executive Committee by a majority vote on 22 May 2021
