in law enforcement, Tim Scott retired as chief of the Big Sandy
Police Department on December 31, 2020; and
WHEREAS, Tim Scott began his 18-year tenure with the Big
Sandy Police Department as a night patrolman; sworn in as the
chief of police in 2006, he was responsible for a number of

exciting chapter of his life; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
