SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 903

	WHEREAS, The peace officers who work to protect the safety 
and well-being of this state's citizens are deeply deserving of 
the gratitude of every Texan, and Officer Bobby Jenkins of the 
Rowlett Police Department has distinguished himself as one of 
this elite group's most able members with his rescue of a young 
girl; and
	WHEREAS, On March 19, 2005, Officer Jenkins was dispatched 
to answer a call by a man whose daughters had disappeared while he 
was taking a nap, and in searching the surrounding neighborhood 
for the missing girls, Officer Jenkins came across one of them,
a five-year-old, standing near a swimming pool; and
	WHEREAS, He quickly discovered the girl's four-year-old 
sister floating in the pool, and on pulling her out and not 
detecting a pulse, he set about attempting to revive her with 
cardiopulmonary resuscitation; and
	WHEREAS, A United States Army veteran who had previously 
served as a combat medic, Officer Jenkins continued to administer 
cardiopulmonary resuscitation until the arrival of emergency 
medical personnel; and
	WHEREAS, By acting coolly and decisively when every second 
counted, Officer Jenkins helped to save the life of a child who 
would surely have died without his intervention, averting what 
could have been a terrible tragedy; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby honor Officer Bobby Jenkins of the 
Rowlett Police Department for his heroism and extend to him 
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be 
prepared for Officer Jenkins as an expression of high regard from 
the Texas Senate.
                                                                          Deuell
