Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 15, 2025, as National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (J 151) requests Governor Hochul to issue a formal proclamation designating February 15, 2025, as "National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day" in New York State. It honors school resource officers (SROs), who serve as law enforcement officers, mentors, and educators in schools, by recognizing their role in promoting student safety. The resolution is ceremonial and non-binding - it does not create new laws or policies, but asks the Governor to publicly acknowledge SROs' contributions to school communities. It directly affects SROs and the public through symbolic recognition, not through any concrete policy change.
