H.C.R. No. 114
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Every day, peace officers devote themselves to the
security and well-being of the people they serve, and Operation
Blue Shield is committed to supporting them in their vital mission;
and
WHEREAS, Operation Blue Shield is a community-centric
initiative designed to promote better understanding and improved
relations between citizens and law enforcement; the campaign
encourages open and constructive dialogue between police and the
wider community and recognizes the importance of acknowledging
diverse backgrounds and perspectives; toward that end, it raises
funds to underwrite public safety endeavors and to help meet the
evolving resource needs of peace officers; and
WHEREAS, This innovative program was founded by
philanthropist Toni Brinker Pickens and benefits from the
involvement of the Dallas-based organization Economic Partners
Investing in Communities; like other EPIC projects, Operation Blue
Shield is backed by a broad range of city leaders, civic and
charitable organizations, and concerned residents; these
participants are focusing attention on the message that "We're All
In This Together" and are urging Texans to "Go All In" to help forge
stronger ties between police and the public; and
WHEREAS, Safe neighborhoods are the foundation of a stable
and prosperous society, and Operation Blue Shield represents a
promising new effort to build greater trust between citizens and
the peace officers who protect them; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby recognize the Operation Blue Shield initiative and encourage
Texans throughout the state to support this worthwhile program;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Operation Blue Shield as an expression of high regard
by the Texas Legislature.
