By celebrating Police Week, the Texas Senate promotes a greater appreciation for the daily challenges faced by law enforcement, reminding citizens of the sacrifices made by those in the police force.
Senate Resolution No. 774 officially recognizes the Saginaw Police Department for their dedicated service and contributions to the community on the occasion of Police Week in Texas.
