The resolution posthumously honors Officer Garrett Crumby with the 2024 Alabama Legislative Medal of Honor for Law Enforcement, the state's highest award for law enforcement bravery. Officer Crumby tragically lost his life on March 28, 2023, while responding to a shooting at the Governor's Bend Apartment Complex in Huntsville.

Despite Officer Morin's efforts to return fire and call for assistance, both officers were injured, and Officer Crumby ultimately succumbed to his wounds.
The resolution emphasizes Officer Crumby's extraordinary courage and dedication to protecting and serving the community, recognizing him as a true hero deserving of this prestigious honor. It expresses the gratitude, admiration, and esteem of the Alabama House of Representatives for his sacrifice and commitment to law enforcement.
