House Resolution 800 is a ceremonial resolution commending Andrew Terrill, a retired captain with the Town of Culpeper Police Department. The resolution recognizes his 27-year career in law enforcement, including prior service with the Culpeper County Sheriff's Office, his military service in the United States Marine Corps, and his leadership roles within the Culpeper Police Department, especially in the Operations Division.
The resolution highlights Terrill’s contributions to patrol operations, community policing, investigations, neighborhood watch expansion, and service on the Culpeper County Drug Court. It also notes his professional development through leadership programs and expresses the House of Delegates’ appreciation for his public service and best wishes upon retirement.
Impact
HR800 does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its effect is purely honorary: it directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to prepare a copy of the resolution for presentation to Andrew Terrill and formally records the General Assembly’s commendation of his service.
Sentiment
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is strongly positive and appreciative. The bill text is entirely laudatory, emphasizing Terrill’s honorable military background, long law-enforcement career, leadership, and community contributions. No votes, committee transcripts, or recorded opposition are provided, and the measure appears to have been agreed to by the House without controversy.
Contention
There is no notable policy contention because the resolution is ceremonial rather than substantive. The only substantive details are the factual descriptions of Terrill’s career and service, which are presented in a complimentary manner. No opposing viewpoints, amendments, or disputes appear in the available record.
