||
| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Texas School District Police Chiefs' Association, | ||
| which has provided invaluable support and guidance to school | ||
| district police departments over the course of more than | ||
| two-and-a-half decades; 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the Texas School District Police | ||
| Chiefs' Association on the organization's exemplary service on | ||
| behalf of Texas 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 esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
