The resolution honors Deputy Brad Bush for his extraordinary bravery and quick actions that led to his recognition as the recipient of the 2025 Alabama Legislative Medal of Honor for Law Enforcement. This prestigious award is given for acts of exceptional courage in the line of duty. The resolution recounts a specific incident on February 17, 2024, when Deputy Bush responded to a 911 call regarding a verbal dispute between an elderly woman and her grandson, who had threatened law enforcement. Upon arrival, Deputy Bush observed signs of deception from the male suspect and noticed a bulge in his pocket that suggested he was armed.

During the encounter, as Deputy Bush attempted to conduct a pat-down search, the suspect began to draw a semi-automatic handgun. Despite the danger, Deputy Bush maintained his grip on the suspect's wrist, preventing him from using the weapon against the other deputy present. In the ensuing struggle, a shot was fired, but Deputy Bush's determination and control ultimately led to the suspect's arrest without further injury. The resolution expresses deep gratitude and admiration for Deputy Bush's actions, which are credited with potentially saving the life of a fellow deputy, and formally recognizes him for his heroism.
