|
||
WHEREAS, Sergeant Randy Thumann has rendered outstanding | ||
service to the State of Texas throughout his highly accomplished | ||
career as a drug interdiction officer with the Fayette County | ||
Sheriff's Office; and | ||
WHEREAS, Sergeant Thumann has worked primarily in a 23-mile | ||
stretch along Interstate 10, which connects San Antonio and | ||
Houston, where he and his longtime K-9 partner, Lobos, have helped | ||
confiscate well over $100 million worth of drugs; several of their | ||
most notable busts have made headlines in major newspapers across | ||
Texas, and when not on patrol, he has enjoyed bringing his K-9 | ||
partner to schools and events in the community; and | ||
WHEREAS, In July 2018, Sergeant Thumann was honored with the | ||
Greg McFarlin-Max Banks Award for Texas Lawman of the Year at the | ||
Sheriffs' Association of Texas Conference; two months later, he | ||
achieved national recognition when he was announced as the | ||
2017-2018 Criminal Interdiction Officer of the Year, the highest | ||
accolade attainable by an interdiction officer, at the annual Motor | ||
Vehicle Criminal Interdiction Conference in San Diego, California; | ||
at the conference, he was also presented with an award for making | ||
the largest cold-stop heroin seizure in the country; and | ||
WHEREAS, Sergeant Randy Thumann has helped make Texas a safer | ||
place through his dedication to public service and his superb skill | ||
as a K-9 officer and trainer, and the recent honors that he has | ||
received reflect the great esteem in which he is held by his peers | ||
in the law enforcement community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend Sergeant Randy Thumann for his service | ||
and achievements as a drug interdiction officer with the Fayette | ||
County Sheriff's Office and extend to him sincere best wishes for | ||
continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Sergeant Thumann as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
Leman | ||
