WHEREAS, Jake Voigt is joining the elite ranks of the Texas | ||

as a member of the 61st Texas Game Warden and State Park Police | ||
Officer Cadet Class on August 1, 2017; and | ||
WHEREAS, The members of the Texas State Park Police are | ||
tasked with maintaining the overall safety and security of state | ||
parks, including safeguarding visitors and resources; these | ||

emergency management operations as well as public outreach | ||
programs; and | ||
WHEREAS, Officer Voigt took the first step in his new career | ||
when he became one of only a small number of applicants to be | ||
accepted into the rigorous program at the TPWD Game Warden Training | ||
Center in Hamilton County; over the span of the 30 weeks he spent at | ||
the center, he completed course work in a range of subjects and | ||
received in-depth training in such areas as first aid, | ||
self-defense, and firearms; following his commissioning, he was | ||
assigned to work at Palo Duro Canyon State Park; and | ||
WHEREAS, The men and women who become Texas Park Police | ||
officers play an essential role in protecting our public lands and | ||
the members of the public who visit these popular attractions, and | ||
it is fitting that Jake Voigt's achievement in joining this select | ||
group be recognized; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Jake Voigt on | ||
his graduation as a member of the 61st Texas Game Warden and State | ||
