H.R. No. 713
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Sergeant Mark Crosby of the Del Rio Police
Department graduated from the FBI National Academy on December 12,
2008; and
WHEREAS, One of the most prestigious law enforcement training
programs in the world, the FBI National Academy in Quantico,
Virginia, has been in operation since 1935, and its 235th session
included 256 civilian and military graduates from all 50 states and
from 26 countries; Sergeant Crosby is one of only four active
members of the Del Rio Police Department to have completed the
rigorous 10-week course; and
WHEREAS, This dedicated peace officer concentrated on
leadership skills during his time at the academy, attending classes
in ethics and supervision as well as behavioral science, computer
crimes, and statement analysis; moreover, Mr. Crosby was one of a
select few students to earn a Yellow Brick, an award given to
academy graduates who successfully complete a series of
increasingly difficult physical fitness challenges; and
WHEREAS, The well-being of Texas citizens depends in large
part on the expertise and readiness of our law enforcement agents,
and the knowledge that Mark Crosby has gained in his studies at the
FBI National Academy will be of great benefit to the Del Rio Police
Department in its mission of serving and protecting area Texans;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Sergeant Mark Crosby on graduating
from the FBI National Academy 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 Sergeant Crosby as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
