|
||
WHEREAS, Officer Travis Nice of the Robinson Police | ||
Department has deservedly been recognized for his actions on | ||
November 11, 2016, when he helped deliver a baby during a traffic | ||
stop; and | ||
WHEREAS, On that day, Robinson patrol officer Brandon Hajek | ||
pulled over a speeding vehicle, whose driver informed him that his | ||
wife was in labor; Officer Hajek then called for paramedics before | ||
summoning the aid of Officer Nice, himself a former paramedic, who | ||
was traveling close behind and soon arrived on the scene; and | ||
WHEREAS, Putting his training into practice, Officer Nice | ||
assessed the situation and then enlisted the help of Officer Hajek | ||
in moving the expectant mother to the back of the vehicle, where he | ||
was able to help her deliver a healthy baby boy; Officer Nice was | ||
later honored with a police commendation medal at a meeting of the | ||
Robinson City Council; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his skill and presence of mind in an | ||
emergency, Officer Travis Nice earned the profound gratitude of one | ||
family along with the sincere appreciation and esteem of his | ||
colleagues and fellow residents, and he may indeed take great pride | ||
in his actions; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend Officer Travis Nice for his assistance | ||
in delivering a baby during a traffic stop and extend to him sincere | ||
best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Officer Nice as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
