             24      Highlighted Provisions:
             25          This resolution:
             26          .    expresses support for the establishment of a fund for the assistance of families of
             27      fallen police officers in Utah;
             28          .    expresses appreciation to Tore and Mona Steen, who saw a need and became


             29      personally invested in serving the families of slain police officers, and wishes them well in
             30      their continuing efforts to serve the citizens of Utah; and
             31          .    expresses appreciation to those who have participated in the efforts of the 1033

             33      Special Clauses:
             34          None
             35     
             36      Be it resolved by the Legislature of the state of Utah, the Governor concurring therein:
             37          WHEREAS, the Utah 1033 Foundation is named for the police radio code for an officer
             38      in trouble;
             39          WHEREAS, this non-profit foundation was established with private donations and is
             40      sustained through a combination of continuing donations, corporate donors, institutional grant
             41      funding, and fundraising events;
             42          WHEREAS, the primary purpose of the 1033 Foundation is to help the families of slain
             43      police officers in Utah;
             44          WHEREAS, the day after the death of a police officer in the line of duty, someone from
             45      the Foundation will visit the widow or widower and deliver a $25,000 check;
             46          WHEREAS, eventually, the Foundation hopes to have an endowment to provide
             47      college scholarships for the children of living and deceased Utah police officers;
             48          WHEREAS, it is also hoped that in the future it will be possible to extend the
             49      Foundation's service to include the families of fallen firefighters;
             50          WHEREAS, the fund began as an idea of Tore and Mona Steen, residents of Park City;
             51          WHEREAS, a native of Norway, Tore received a scholarship after serving in that
             52      nation's air force and moved to the United States to attend college;
             53          WHEREAS, Tore enjoyed great success in the banking and financial industries, and
             54      while living in New York, he was involved in advisory capacities with the departments of
             55      police, corrections, and housing;
             56          WHEREAS, as a result of these experiences, and after being invited to ride with two


             57      New York City police officers who were called to a domestic dispute, Tore realized, in a small
             58      but very real and personal way, what dangers police officers can face every day;
             59          WHEREAS, many years later, the husband of Mona's daughter's former college
             60      roommate, a Colorado Springs police detective, was slain while trying to apprehend a suspect
             61      wanted for attempted murder;
             62          WHEREAS, these brushes with the tragedy and devastation brought to the families of
             63      officers killed in the line of duty drove the Steens to form the 1033 Foundation;
             64          WHEREAS, their efforts continue with the help of many others, including Wade
             65      Carpenter, Park City Police Chief; the Law Firm of Van Cott, Bagley, Cornwall & McCarthy,
             66      P.C.; and Zions Bank;
             67          WHEREAS, the 1033 Foundation has made it easy for individuals and organizations to
             68      donate to the fund by going to utah1033.org; and
             69          WHEREAS, by providing financial and, eventually, scholarship assistance, the 1033
             70      Foundation hopes to provide a means to lift some of the crushing burdens upon the families of
             71      Utah's police officers killed in the line of duty:
             72          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of the state of Utah, the
             73      Governor concurring therein, expresses support for the efforts of the 1033 Foundation to assist
             74      the families of fallen police officers in Utah in their moments of greatest need.
             75          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislature and the Governor express
             76      appreciation to Tore and Mona Steen, who saw a need and became personally invested in
             77      serving the families of slain police officers in Utah, and wish them well in their continuing
             78      efforts to serve the citizens of Utah.
             79          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislature and the Governor express
             80      appreciation to those who have participated in the efforts of the 1033 Foundation and made
