WHEREAS, Senior Corporal Roger Rudloff of the Northwest |
|
|
Patrol Division of the Dallas Police Department was awarded the |
|
|
2006 Cop's Cop Award by the Dallas Police Association at its annual |
|
|
banquet on January 27, 2007; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Dallas Police Association is an organization of |
|
|
active and retired members of the DPD; the recipients of the monthly |
|
|
Cop's Cop Award are nominated by their peers, and every year the |
|
|
annual Cop's Cop Award winner is chosen from the 12 monthly |
|
|
awardees; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A native of West Texas and an 11-year veteran of the |
|
|
DPD, Corporal Rudloff is regarded by his peers as an exemplary |
|
|
police officer; in the words of his sergeant, he is a "go-to guy" |
|
|
who has never been called to a situation he could not handle; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The recipient of approximately 80 commendations |
|
|
from the department as well as a certificate of merit, Corporal |
|
|
Rudloff has proven himself repeatedly as a skilled street |
|
|
investigator and a first-rate field training officer; his trainees |
|
|
know him as a mentor who will offer advice when needed and listen |
|
|
carefully to their concerns; his colleagues trust him implicitly |
|
|
and seek him out for advice on unfamiliar situations; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On the night of August 30, 2006, Corporal Rudloff |
|
|
demonstrated the brave and decisive actions for which he is known |
|
|
while responding to a violent disturbance at a hotel; when another |
|
|
officer was critically wounded by gunfire, Corporal Rudloff, at |
|
|
considerable risk to himself, pulled his fellow officer to safety |
|
|
and ensured that the wounded officer got immediate emergency care, |
|
|
thus saving his life; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Senior Corporal Roger Rudloff has time and again |
|
|
demonstrated his commitment above and beyond the call of duty to the |
|
|
safety of the citizens of Dallas, and his dedication, |
|
|
professionalism, and expertise make him an inspiration to all who |
|
|
know him; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Senior Corporal Roger Rudloff of the |
|
|
Dallas Police Department for saving the life of a fellow officer and |
|
|
congratulate him on winning the 2006 Cop's Cop Award from the Dallas |
|
|
Police Association; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
