recognize Senior Sergeant Mickey Spillane Tolbert, who is
retiring from the Dallas County Sheriff's Department on April 30,
2019, after 32 years of exceptional service; and
WHEREAS, Mickey Tolbert began his long career with the
Dallas County Sheriff's Department in 1987 as an officer with the

department while serving as commander of the Planning and
Research Unit; and
WHEREAS, For the last 12 years of his career, Sergeant
