HJR 1197 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Memorials, Recognition - Tactical Medicals Justin Krantz and Jason Kile -

This bill honors Tactical Medicals Justin Krantz and Jason Kile by formally recognizing their receipt of the Chattanooga Police Department's Citizen Service Medal. It acknowledges their volunteer work with the SWAT Team, specifically their lifesaving medical care for a police K9 named Diesel during a dangerous domestic assault response in September 2025. The resolution describes how the medics provided critical hemorrhage control and treatment that allowed the dog to survive transport, though he later passed away from his injuries. This legislative action serves as a public commendation of their bravery and selfless service to public safety.
