| WHEREAS, The Arlington Police Department pays tribute to its | ||
| fallen officers each May during National Police Week with a solemn | ||
| ceremony at Heroes Park; and | ||
| WHEREAS, First dedicated on May 17, 2008, Heroes Park is | ||
| situated near the APD's West Station and the city's Fire Training | ||
| Center, and it features a tree-lined walkway, a fountain and | ||
| memorial pool, and the Wall of Honor, which bears the names of those | ||
| officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since 1930, eight police officers have made the | ||
| ultimate sacrifice while serving the city; these include James E. | ||
| Johnson, Gary D. Harl, Terry Lynn Lewis, Jerry J. Crocker, Craig | ||

| Jillian Michelle Smith; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texans owe an immense debt of gratitude to the men | ||
| and women of law enforcement who willingly place themselves in | ||
| harm's way to protect and serve the public, and the Arlington Police | ||
| Department's annual tribute to its fallen heroes is a fitting | ||
| remembrance of their sacrifice and devotion to duty; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the Arlington | ||

| meaningful and memorable event; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Arlington Police Department as an expression of | ||
| high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
