This Senate resolution honors the life and service of Corporal Grade One Matthew T. "Ty" Snook, a Delaware State Police officer killed in the line of duty on December 23, 2025, while working an overtime assignment at a DMV facility near New Castle, Delaware. Snook, a 10-year veteran and field training officer who mentored more than 20 troopers, died protecting DMV employees and the public during an act of violence, reportedly directing people to safety and pushing an employee out of danger even after being mortally wounded. The resolution formally expresses the Senate's condolences to his family, including his wife, daughter, parents, brother, and sister, and recognizes his heroism and sacrifice. It also reaffirms the Senate's broader support for law enforcement officers who risk their lives in public service. As a resolution rather than a law, it carries no funding, regulatory changes, or enforcement timelines and serves solely as a formal statement of tribute and remembrance.
