A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE SERGEANT COREY COOK FOR RECEIVING THE SOUTH CAROLINA SHERIFF'S ASSOCIATION MEDAL OF VALOR AND TO COMMEND HIM FOR HIS LEVEL-HEADED AND HEROIC ACTIONS IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to recognize Sergeant Corey Cook for receiving the South Carolina Sheriff's Association Medal of Valor; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Sheriff's Association Medal of Valor is given to any deputy sheriff who performs actions above and beyond the call of duty and who exhibits exceptional courage, extraordinary decisiveness, and presence of mind, or an unusual swiftness of action, regardless of his or her personal safety, in an attempt to save or protect human life; and

Whereas, on October 25, 2020, Sergeant Corey Cook was dispatched in the early hours of the morning to locate a possible victim who had been stabbed and left the scene. As Sergeant Cook approached the man, the subject raised a handgun and fired two shots. Although he was the only deputy on scene, Sergeant Cook remained calm and alert and gave the man verbal commands until he was able to secure him in handcuffs; and

Whereas, Sergeant Cook has served the Newberry County Sheriff's Office for seven years. He is also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to recognize this son of South Carolina for his outstanding service to his community and the people and State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate Sergeant Corey Cook for receiving the South Carolina Sheriff's Association Medal of Valor and commend him for his level-headed and heroic actions in the line of duty.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Sergeant Corey Cook.
