WHEREAS, Martin County Sheriff Brad Ingram and the Martin |
|
County Commissioners Court are hosting a dedication and open house |
|
for the Dan Saunders Law Enforcement Center in Stanton on February |
|
25, 2019; and |
|
WHEREAS, Designed by DRG Architects, LLC, of San Antonio and |
|
constructed by MW Builders of Midland, the new jail and law |
|
enforcement center is the culmination of a cooperative effort on |
|
the part of the Martin County Sheriff's Office and other county |
|
officials; and |
|
WHEREAS, The facility is named in honor of the late Dan |
|
Saunders, who served as sheriff of Martin County for nearly four |
|
decades, from 1953 to 1992; he was greatly admired for his integrity |
|
and his dedication to protecting the well-being of his fellow |
|
citizens as well as for the concern he showed to prisoners at the |
|
jail; the sheriff's long tenure coincided with a great deal of |
|
change for the county, and he was the last sheriff to oversee its |
|
"old jail," which has since been converted into a museum and |
|
designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark; Sheriff Saunders |
|
passed away on April 27, 1995, at the age of 69; and |
|
WHEREAS, The dedication of the Dan Saunders Law Enforcement |
|
Center represents a fitting tribute to one of Martin County's most |
|
respected law enforcement officers, and the completion of this |
|
project ensures that the county will be even better equipped to meet |
|
the needs of its criminal justice system in the years to come; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the dedication of the Dan Saunders |
|
Law Enforcement Center in Stanton and commend all those involved in |
|
bringing this endeavor to fruition for their vision, leadership, |
|
and hard work. |
