WHEREAS, Senior Officer Bob Dorsch of the Corpus Christi
Police Department has deservedly been presented with a Life Saving
Award for his heroic actions in the line of duty; and
WHEREAS, On November 4, 2014, Officer Dorsch responded to a
9-1-1 call about a man who was found unconscious in his truck; the
man's companion had begun performing CPR to restore his breathing
and heartbeat, and after arriving on the scene, Officer Dorsch took
over administering chest compressions as the other individual
provided rescue breathing to the victim; another officer,
Lieutenant Adrian Diaz, also came to assist them in keeping the man
alive; and
WHEREAS, Although the victim remained unresponsive, the
three men continued their efforts until paramedics could reach them
and transport the man to a hospital; miraculously, the victim
survived, which emergency personnel credited to their early and
sustained attempts to resuscitate him; and
WHEREAS, In a crisis situation, Officer Bob Dorsch remained
calm and implemented the skills he had learned in his training, and
in so doing, he helped to save the life of a fellow Texan in need;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize Senior Officer Bob Dorsch on his
receipt of the Life Saving Award from the Corpus Christi Police
Department and extend to him sincere appreciation for his admirable
public service; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Officer Dorsch as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
