ATLANTA (September 20, 2024) — This week, Sen. John Albers (R–Roswell) was honored by the Georgia Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) for his legislative contributions during the 2023-2024 Legislative Session of the Georgia General Assembly. During the 2024 legislative session, Sen. Albers authored and passed legislation to raise the limit for the total percentage of funds that the Peace Officers’ Annuity and Benefit Fund may invest in alternative investments.

“It is an honor to be recognized by the Fraternal Order of Police,” said Sen. Albers. “As a former first responder, I have always considered standing alongside our law enforcement officers a privilege. These men and women put their lives on the line daily, serving our communities faithfully, often in the face of danger and uncertainty. I will always remain committed to doing everything I can to support them through sound policies and resources. Whether it’s ensuring they have the training and equipment they need or advocating for their well-being both on the job and after they retire, we owe them our full support.”

The Georgia Fraternal Order of Police consists of 34 Local Lodges and has more than 6,200 members across the state. The organization serves as the voice of those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving communities nationwide.

Sen. John Albers serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Safety. He represents the 56th Senate District which includes portions of Cherokee, Cobb, and North Fulton counties.
