|
||
WHEREAS, Texans everywhere are indebted to the men and women | ||
of the law enforcement profession, for by their selfless devotion | ||
to the public welfare, they enable us to enjoy the benefits of a | ||
peaceful and orderly society; and | ||
WHEREAS, Too seldom recognized, and sometimes taken for | ||
granted by the public they so faithfully serve, these gallant | ||
individuals daily risk their lives in order to ensure domestic | ||
tranquility and to protect the lives and property of others; and | ||
WHEREAS, Senior Police Officer Amir Abdul-Khaliq Jr. of the | ||
Austin Police Department exemplified in his personal and | ||
professional conduct the singular virtues of courage, integrity, | ||
and steadfast resolve, and throughout his 17 years on the force, his | ||
meritorious service embodied the highest ideals of his vocation; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on September 4, 2016, | ||
Officer Abdul-Khaliq will long be missed by his family, his fellow | ||
peace officers, and the entire community; and | ||
WHEREAS, Though his life ended far too soon, Officer | ||
Abdul-Khaliq left behind a record of public service that is | ||
deserving of his fellow citizens' lasting respect and gratitude; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Senior Police Officer | ||
Amir Abdul-Khaliq Jr. and extend deepest sympathy to his relatives, | ||
friends, and fellow officers; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of | ||
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Senior | ||
Police Officer Amir Abdul-Khaliq Jr. | ||
