The resolution designates July 30 of each year as Brian Sicknick Day in New Jersey to honor Officer Brian Sicknick, who lost his life in the line of duty while protecting the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Officer Sicknick, a dedicated public servant, served with the United States Capitol Police for over 12 years and had a notable career that included roles in the mountain bike unit and the First Responders Unit. He was born on July 30, 1978, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and had a strong commitment to public service, which included his time in the New Jersey Air National Guard.
The resolution calls for the Governor of New Jersey to issue an annual proclamation recognizing July 30 as Brian Sicknick Day, ensuring that his sacrifice and dedication to protecting democracy are remembered each year. This designation serves as a fitting tribute to Officer Sicknick's bravery and commitment to his duty, reflecting the values of service and sacrifice that he embodied throughout his life and career.
