Ashley Moody celebrates National Police Week, issues resolution to first responder support group

GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. – Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody celebrated National Police Week by issuing a Florida Cabinet resolution honoring a first responder support group on Tuesday in Clay County.

The support group, Signal 35, provides aid to first responders and their family members facing financial hardships and other difficult circumstances. 

“National Police Week is a time for us to honor the sacrifices made by courageous individuals who take an oath to protect and serve,” Moody said.

“It is important that we support those who put their lives on the line to keep us safe,” she continued. “It is also important that we continue to support them and their families when they need it most.”

“That is why I am proud to present a Florida Cabinet Resolution recognizing National Police Week to Signal 35—a local organization assisting first responders in Clay County,” she said.

Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook thanked Moody and the state for backing the law enforcement community.

“Attorney General Moody continues to be a strong supporter of law enforcement and law and order,” Cook said.

“We are honored to host her here in Clay County as we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and celebrate those who choose to serve our community,” she added.

Signal 35 Chairman Judson Sapp emphasized the role that his organization plays in the lives of first responders across the state.

“Our goal is to raise the funds in advance of any crisis, so the assistance can be provided at a moment’s notice to the first responders in need,” he said. “We know the need will be there—that comes with the territory of public safety service—and we will be ready to help.”
