and continue to be the public safety departments for citizens 
throughout DeKalb County; and

years as a law enforcement officer for the citizens of DeKalb County 
and has given exceptionable and distinguished service to our citizens 
by providing guidance, protection and leadership; and
  Whereas, Major Jeffery K. Cato is a proven leader and decorated 
officer with a heart of a lion and the spirit of an angel; and
  Whereas, Major Cato is retiring from his career in DeKalb County, he 
will begin a new career as Chief of Police in West Point, Georgia; and
  Whereas, DeKalb County is proud to have been served by Major Jeffery 
K. Cato, who gave of himself daily without any need for praise and 
fame, he has always served valiantly and honorably, a modern day 
knight; and
