the workforce due to their historic underrepresentation; and

recognized for their contributions to the field of law
enforcement in the face of such adversity; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives designate the
week of June 16 through 22, 2025, as "Women in Law Enforcement
Week" in Pennsylvania.
