WHEREAS, Georgetown police officer Jason Chaudoin exhibited
swift and decisive judgment in an emergency, and his actions
contributed to the successful rescue of a local citizen in extreme
peril; and
WHEREAS, Officer Chaudoin joined fellow officer Erik Grasse
in responding to a report of an accident in Sun City; arriving at

visible above the surface of the water; both officers dove in, and

passengers while Officer Grasse pulled the driver to safety;

the driver suffered no serious injuries, and she was treated and
released at the scene; and
WHEREAS, This valiant Texan is a tremendous asset to the
citizens of Georgetown, and he is truly deserving of special

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby honor Officer Jason Chaudoin of the Georgetown
Police Department for his role in saving a woman from drowning and
extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Officer Chaudoin as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
