TO RECOGNIZE THE DIVISION OF ARKANSAS STATE POLICE'S INTERSTATE CRIMINAL PATROL FOR WINNING TOP HONORS AT THE GULF COAST HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREA AWARDS.

HR 1113 is a ceremonial House resolution recognizing the Arkansas State Police's Interstate Criminal Patrol for winning the Gulf Coast High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Awards. It specifically highlights the team's 2024 achievements, including seizing $32.25 million in narcotics, recovering $4.1 million in cash, and earning individual honors like "Officer of the Year" for Trooper Ana Escamilla and "Largest Cash Seizure" for Corporal Chris Short. The resolution has no binding effect - it does not create new laws or allocate funds - but formally acknowledges the team's work through a symbolic gesture. It was adopted by the Arkansas House of Representatives on April 15, 2025.
