H.R. No. 1226
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Senior Corporal Chris Wagner of the Dallas Police
Department has been named the 2012 Cops' Cop Officer of the Year by
the Dallas Police Association, providing a fitting opportunity to
pay tribute to this outstanding peace officer; and
WHEREAS, After serving his nation for four years in the
U.S. Air Force, Corporal Wagner joined the Dallas PD in 1997, and in
his more than 15 years on the force, he has earned the respect and
admiration of his fellow officers for his dedication, attention to
detail, and hard work; and
WHEREAS, In the course of his career thus far, Corporal
Wagner has arrested thousands of suspects, and for more than a
decade, he was an indispensable member of the southwest patrol
crime response team, tasked with ridding the region of drug houses;
aware that many drug houses were stealing electricity, Corporal
Wagner began working with the Oncor Electric Delivery Company to
cut them off the grid; this innovative method of fighting crime has
since been adopted by other police units in Dallas and other
jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, Recently assigned to southwest patrol's burglary
task force, Corporal Wagner will no doubt continue to build on his
reputation for fairness, resourcefulness, and diligence; he truly
represents Dallas's finest, and he may take pride in this
impressive and heartfelt recognition from his brothers and sisters
in blue; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Senior Corporal Chris Wagner on his
selection as the Cops' Cop Officer of the Year and extend to him
sincere best wishes for continued success with his important work;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Corporal Wagner as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
