|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Over the course of more than two and a half decades, | ||
| the Texas School District Police Chiefs' Association has provided | ||
| invaluable support and guidance to school district police | ||
| departments; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The organization traces its origins back to 1996, | ||
| when school district police chiefs in the Houston area began | ||
| holding informal meetings to discuss issues related to their | ||
| profession; the group established the Southeast Texas School | ||
| District Police Chiefs Association in 1997, and the following year, | ||
| the organization hosted its first annual training conference; in | ||
| 2001, the organization's name was changed to the Texas School | ||
| District Police Chiefs' Association to reflect its mission to | ||
| promote the statewide standardization of school district policing; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, the association benefits from the able | ||
| guidance of its executive board, which includes president Solomon | ||
| Cook, first vice president Bill Avera, second vice president Kirby | ||
| Warnke, third vice president Charles McDuffie, fourth vice | ||
| president Paul Cordova, immediate past president David Kimberly, | ||
| treasurer Jimmy Womack, and secretary Alan Bragg; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through its visionary leadership, the Texas School | ||
| District Police Chiefs' Association is helping to ensure the safety | ||
| of students, faculty, and staff in school districts across the | ||
| state, and it is a pleasure to recognize the organization for its | ||
| outstanding record of service; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commend the Texas School District Police Chiefs' | ||
| Association for its contributions to school district police | ||
| departments and extend to its members sincere best wishes for | ||
| continued success in their important work; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Texas School District Police Chiefs' Association | ||
| as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of | ||
| Representatives. | ||
