R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Sergeant Mark Crosby of the Del Rio Police
  Department graduated from the FBI National Academy on December 12,
  2008; and
         WHEREAS, One of the most prestigious law enforcement training
  programs in the world, the FBI National Academy in Quantico,
  Virginia, has been in operation since 1935, and its 235th session
  included 256 civilian and military graduates from all 50 states and
  from 26 countries; Sergeant Crosby is one of only four active
  members of the Del Rio Police Department to have completed the
  rigorous 10-week course; and
         WHEREAS, This dedicated peace officer concentrated on
  leadership skills during his time at the academy, attending classes
  in ethics and supervision as well as behavioral science, computer
  crimes, and statement analysis; moreover, Mr. Crosby was one of a
  select few students to earn a Yellow Brick, an award given to
  academy graduates who successfully complete a series of
  increasingly difficult physical fitness challenges; and
         WHEREAS, The well-being of Texas citizens depends in large
  part on the expertise and readiness of our law enforcement agents,
  and the knowledge that Mark Crosby has gained in his studies at the
  FBI National Academy will be of great benefit to the Del Rio Police
  Department in its mission of serving and protecting area Texans;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Sergeant Mark Crosby on graduating
  from the FBI National Academy 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 Sergeant Crosby as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
