and he commanded the bomb squad for ten years, which squad helped to investigate
the bombing at Atlanta's Centennial Park during the 1996 Olympics;
and
WHEREAS,
he was appointed as deputy chief of the detective bureau in 2004, but he says
the seven years he spent as evening watch commander at the Cumberland precinct
with traffic services in the 1980's were his favorite because the officers he
worked with made the work enjoyable even though they were extremely busy;

he was named Officer of the Year in 2001 by the Peace Officers' Association of
Georgia, and the year before, the Cobb Chamber named him Officer of the Year;
and

and
WHEREAS,
Deputy Police Chief Mull will retire in April, 2008, trading in his police
cruiser for a tractor to use on a few acres he and his wife own in Cartersville,
and he plans to play golf and work on restoring his 1970 Covette, but his number
one priority will be getting season tickets for the University of Tennessee
football games where both of his children are graduates; and
WHEREAS,
he is a person of magnanimous strengths with an unimpeachable reputation for
integrity, intelligence, fairness, and kindness; his loyalty, competency,
reliability, and enthusiasm have distinguished his superlative service to this
state; and his friendship is regarded by everyone as a special experience which
they will always treasure; and
WHEREAS,
it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding accomplishments of this
distinguished Georgian be appropriately recognized.
NOW,
