SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 178
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Sergeant Alonzo Gonzalez, who retired from the El Campo
Police Department on February 28, 2021, after 43 years in law
enforcement; and
WHEREAS, A native of El Campo, Alonzo Gonzalez graduated
from Louise High School and from the Victoria Police Academy, and
he devoted three years of service to the Victoria Police
Department as a patrol officer; and
WHEREAS, On March 20, 1981, Officer Gonzalez was hired by
the El Campo Police Department, and for the next four decades, he
worked diligently to protect and serve his hometown community; he
moved up through the ranks to become a field training officer and
then a patrol sergeant, and he turned down the opportunity to
become a detective so that he could continue to actively handle
the duties of a patrolman; and
WHEREAS, Throughout his distinguished career, Sergeant
Gonzalez effectively managed the far-reaching responsibilities
and challenges of his positions in the field of law enforcement;
he is admired by his colleagues and by area citizens for his hard
work, courage, and perseverance, and his presence with the El
Campo Police Department will be greatly missed; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
Legislature, hereby commend Alonzo Gonzalez on his outstanding
career as a law enforcement officer and on 40 years of invaluable
service to the El Campo community; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
