Whereas, first responders risk their own safety and personal property in the execution of their duties to protect the public on a daily basis; and

Whereas, first responders are the first line of defense for the public against threats, both domestic and foreign; and

Whereas, first responders stand at the ready to come to the aid of United States citizens twenty-four hours a day; and

Whereas, first responders are a vital part of our communities, not only standing ready to deal with emergencies but also volunteering in our schools and community organizations; and

Whereas, both career and volunteer individuals from police, fire, emergency medical services, search and rescue and other organizations in the public safety sector come together as a collective to aid the public in the event of an emergency; and

Whereas, the people of Arizona wish to honor, recognize and thank the first responders who serve and protect them.

Therefore

Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Arizona, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the Members of the Legislature honor and express their sincere gratitude to all first responders in the State of Arizona.
