Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress recognizes the unseen sacrifices and countless contributions of the Southwest Florida law enforcement community.

HRES 1218 is a non-binding resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' appreciation for Southwest Florida law enforcement. It specifically recognizes the contributions of approximately 4,000 officers across seven local departments and sheriff's offices (including Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Lee County, and Collier County) and acknowledges their "unseen sacrifices" during National Police Week. The resolution contains no policy changes, funding provisions, or legal obligations - its sole purpose is to formally thank these officers for their service. It does not affect any laws or directly impact residents or officers beyond symbolic recognition.
