H.R. No. 67
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Over the course of more than two and a half decades,
the Texas School District Police Chiefs' Association has provided
invaluable support and guidance to school district police
departments; and
WHEREAS, The organization traces its origins back to 1996,
when school district police chiefs in the Houston area began
holding informal meetings to discuss issues related to their
profession; the group established the Southeast Texas School
District Police Chiefs Association in 1997, and the following year,
the organization hosted its first annual training conference; in
2001, the organization's name was changed to the Texas School
District Police Chiefs' Association to reflect its mission to
promote the statewide standardization of school district policing;
and
WHEREAS, Today, the association benefits from the able
guidance of its executive board, which includes president Solomon
Cook, first vice president Bill Avera, second vice president Kirby
Warnke, third vice president Charles McDuffie, fourth vice
president Paul Cordova, immediate past president David Kimberly,
treasurer Jimmy Womack, and secretary Alan Bragg; and
WHEREAS, Through its visionary leadership, the Texas School
District Police Chiefs' Association is helping to ensure the safety
of students, faculty, and staff in school districts across the
state, and it is a pleasure to recognize the organization for its
outstanding record of service; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the Texas School District Police Chiefs'
Association for its contributions to school district police
departments and extend to its members sincere best wishes for
continued success in their important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Texas School District Police Chiefs' Association
as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of
Representatives.
