H.R. No. 1599
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Jeanette Palmire retired as a patrol officer with
the Bellaire Police Department on March 7, 2015, concluding an
exemplary career that spanned 32 years; and
WHEREAS, When Officer Palmire joined the department in 1983,
it had only one other female member, and for much of her tenure, she
held her own in an otherwise all-male environment; she played a
major part in developing the department's Field Training Officer
program during the 1980s, and it became a model for other agencies;
and
WHEREAS, Officer Palmire demonstrated exceptional skill and
dedication as a patrol officer, and she turned down several
opportunities for promotion or special assignment in order to
remain in that role; always ready to help out wherever and whenever
needed, she brightened the days of her coworkers with her kind and
easygoing manner, and she was a caring mentor to many younger
officers; and
WHEREAS, Through her steadfast commitment to public safety,
Officer Palmire set a high standard to which others may aspire,
while earning the lasting respect and appreciation of her
colleagues and fellow citizens alike; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Officer Jeanette Palmire on her
retirement from the Bellaire Police Department and extend to her
sincere best wishes as she embarks on the next exciting chapter of
her life; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Officer Palmire as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
Davis of Harris
