This resolution serves to honor the life and dedicated service of Corporal Grade One Matthew T. "Ty" Snook of the Delaware State Police. Corporal Snook, a 10-year veteran, was tragically killed in the line of duty on December 23, 2025, while protecting employees and the public at a Division of Motor Vehicles facility in Delaware. He was recognized for his professionalism, integrity, and courage, having also served as a field training officer mentoring new troopers. The resolution specifically highlights Corporal Snook's heroic actions, noting that he gave directions and pushed an employee out of harm's way even after being mortally wounded, ultimately sacrificing his own life to save others. The Senate expresses its deepest condolences to his family, including his wife, daughter, parents, brother, and sister. Furthermore, this resolution reaffirms the Senate's unwavering support for all law enforcement officers and public servants who dedicate their lives to ensuring community safety.
