SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 129
	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.
