H.R. No. 741 |
|
||
WHEREAS, For the second time, the Rockport Police Department | ||
has been named a Recognized Law Enforcement Agency by the Texas | ||
Police Chiefs Association; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since 2006, the TPCA's Law Enforcement Recognition | ||
Program has evaluated Texas police departments by using a metric of | ||
more than 165 best practices that take into account all aspects of | ||
law enforcement, including use of force, protection of citizen | ||
rights, vehicle pursuit, property and evidence management, and | ||
patrol and investigative operations; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Rockport Police Department was originally | ||
credentialed as a Recognized Law Enforcement Agency in December | ||
2016; to maintain its standing with the TPCA, the department was | ||
required to conduct a critical self-review of its policies, | ||
procedures, facilities, and operations and to submit to an on-site | ||
inspection overseen by police chiefs from other agencies; after the | ||
results were analyzed by the TPCA's Recognition Committee, the | ||
department was again awarded Recognized status on December 23, | ||
2020; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under the leadership of Chief Gregory Stevens, the | ||
Rockport police force has demonstrated exceptional diligence, | ||
professionalism, and dedication in meeting the best practices | ||
outlined by the Texas Police Chiefs Association, and they can | ||
indeed take great pride in earning this well-deserved honor; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Rockport Police Department on | ||
its recognition by the Texas Police Chiefs Association and extend | ||
to all those associated with the department 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 Rockport Police Department as an expression of | ||
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
