TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND JEFFREY B. "JEFF" MOORE FOR HIS MANY YEARS OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA SHERIFFS' ASSOCIATION, TO CONGRATULATE HIM UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT, AND TO WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, Jeffrey B. Moore will begin a well-deserved retirement on July 31, 2014, after thirty-two years of service to the South Carolina Sheriffs' Association; and

Whereas, a native of North Carolina, Jeff moved to Columbia after his graduation from the University of North Carolina in 1974 to pursue a master's degree from the University of South Carolina; and

Whereas, after Jeff graduated with his master's degree in 1978, he became the managing editor for LeeWay Publications where he wrote many articles dealing with law enforcement and corrections matters. Jeff's writings led to his being named the first full-time executive director of the South Carolina Sheriffs' Association in 1982; and

Whereas, Jeff has worked tirelessly to build the Sheriffs' Association and developed the first and only Manual on Law and Practice for the State's sheriffs. Jeff also directed the development of the first and only Civil Process Procedures Manual, which is still used for all training and field support for sheriffs' deputies. Jeff was instrumental in passing legislation that increased standards for individuals who wished to run for the Office of Sheriff and ultimately led to the creation of the New Sheriffs School in 1989; and

Whereas, in 1993, Jeff became a founding member of the Adult Protection Coordinating Council. Most recently, Jeff has worked with the Lieutenant Governor's Office to establish the Vulnerable Adult Guardian Ad Litem Program; and

Whereas, in 2002, Jeff worked with the South Carolina Broadcasters Association and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to create and implement the Amber Alert program in South Carolina. Jeff continues to serve on the Amber Alert Oversight Committee; and

Whereas, through his involvement with the South Carolina Impaired Driving Prevention Council, Jeff played a critical role in the effort to overhaul South Carolina's DUI law in 2008. As a result of Jeff's efforts and the efforts of others involved, South Carolina was able to implement one of the toughest DUI laws in the country; and

Whereas, Jeff has served as the voice of South Carolina's sheriffs at the General Assembly for over thirty years and has helped the association achieve more than 16,000 honorary members from throughout South Carolina; and

Whereas, the General Assembly is pleased to wish Jeff well as he enjoys retirement and trusts he will find much pleasure in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and commend Jeffrey B. "Jeff" Moore for his many years of outstanding service to the South Carolina Sheriffs' Association and the State of South Carolina, congratulate him upon the occasion of his retirement, and wish him much success and happiness in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Jeffrey B. Moore.
