SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 688
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Pearland Police Chief Joseph Christopher Doyle, who
is retiring after 38 years of service with the Pearland Police
Department; and
WHEREAS, Chief Doyle joined the Pearland Police Department
in January of 1979, and his impressive career has included
experience in nearly every aspect of police work; in his time
with the department, he has served as a detective, a patrol
sergeant, and a commander for a multi-agency special weapons and
tactics team; and
WHEREAS, This exemplary public servant has handled his
far-reaching responsibilities with exceptional skill and
dedication and has acted with courage and tenacity in protecting
the community he loves; he is noted for playing an instrumental
role in acquiring and implementing the state-of-the-art radio
and laptop systems currently in use by the department; and
WHEREAS, Chief Doyle was promoted to assistant chief of
police in 1994, and he has led the department since his
appointment to chief of police in 1999; he is the longest-serving
chief in the department's 57-year history; and
WHEREAS, A respected and admired member of his community,
Chief Doyle has received numerous letters of commendation for
exceeding the call of duty in his job performance and for
fostering cooperation with law enforcement partners outside of
the Pearland department when handling cross-jurisdictional
investigations; he has displayed superior judgment in dealing
with the unique challenges of law enforcement duty, and his
presence at the Pearland Police Department will be greatly missed;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend Pearland Police Chief Joseph
Christopher Doyle for his many contributions to his community and
extend to him best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for him
as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
Taylor of Galveston
