Senate Resolution 35, sponsored by Swann, seeks to reappoint Lowell Russell to the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission. The POST Commission is responsible for assisting the Governor in developing law enforcement training programs and managing financial resources to enhance the training of law enforcement officers in Tennessee. The resolution highlights Mr. Russell's qualifications, noting his previous appointment in 2017, his integrity, and his commitment to law enforcement, as well as his extensive experience as a fourteen-year veteran of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Mr. Russell, who was critically injured in the line of duty in 2012, has a strong educational background in criminal justice and has undergone significant law enforcement training. The resolution also acknowledges his contributions to public service, including the naming of a highway in his honor. The Senate expresses confidence that Mr. Russell will continue to provide exceptional service to the state as a member of the POST Commission and formally appoints him to this important role.
