SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 111
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize Captain Jimmy M. Holland, who is retiring from the
  Friendswood Police Department after more than 35 years of
  exemplary service in law enforcement; and
         WHEREAS, Captain Holland began his career in law
  enforcement as a reserve police officer in Irving before serving
  in Vietnam as a military policeman with the United States Army;
  following his military service, he returned to Texas, where, in
  1977, he became the sixth full-time peace officer for the City of
  Friendswood; and
         WHEREAS, Through the years, Captain Holland has held many
  important positions within the department, including interim
  police chief, and has seen it grow from a small-town force of six
  officers and one dispatcher to a modern police department with 57
  sworn officers, 28 civilian employees, and such state-of-the-art
  technology as mobile data computers; and
         WHEREAS, A role model for his fellow officers and an
  ambassador to the community, Captain Holland has
  enthusiastically undertaken such vital tasks as overseeing the
  construction of the city's new public safety facility and
  supervising logistical operations on a day-to-day basis and
  during crises like Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Ike; and
         WHEREAS, An exemplary peace officer, Captain Holland is
  respected and admired by civilians and fellow officers for his
  professionalism, his loyalty, and his commitment to excellence,
  and his presence at the Friendswood Police Department will be
  greatly missed; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
  Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Captain Jimmy M.
  Holland on his exceptional service to the people of Friendswood
  and extend to him best wishes for continued success in all his
  future endeavors; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
