By: Craddick | H.R. No. 476 |
|
||
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. |
