The Senate Resolution commends Deputy Brett Savant of the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office for being named the 2023 Deputy of the Year by the Louisiana Sheriffs' Association. This prestigious award recognizes deputies who demonstrate exceptional initiative and creativity in their duties, particularly those that enhance community well-being. Deputy Savant, who has over ten years of service with the Sheriff's Office, has made significant contributions as a School Resource Officer, driven by his personal experiences as a cancer survivor and his commitment to the safety of children.

In addition to his role as a deputy, Deputy Savant founded the nonprofit organization "Save our Kidz," which addresses the lack of lifesaving devices in schools. Recognizing the critical need for first aid tools such as tourniquets and choking rescue devices, he has successfully raised funds to provide these essential items to schools in Livingston Parish. As of January 2023, his efforts have resulted in the distribution of lifesaving devices to eleven schools, reflecting his dedication to improving safety and preparedness in educational environments. The resolution not only honors his achievements but also expresses best wishes for his continued success in his mission.
