SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 632
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize Officer Christopher Fields of the Lakeview Police
  Department, whose quick thinking and good judgment led to the
  swift apprehension of a bank robbery suspect; and
         WHEREAS, Officer Fields was on regular patrol in the Clear
  Lake area recently when he noticed a vehicle with red smoke
  coming out of the windows; he recognized the smoke as the type
  emitted by dye packs used by banks to thwart robberies, and he was
  already tracking the car when the police dispatcher broadcast a
  radio message about the armed robbery with a description of the
  suspect; and
         WHEREAS, Officer Fields demonstrated sound judgment in
  waiting to initiate the stop until he had backup and was in an area
  where there were no innocent bystanders or other motorists; and
         WHEREAS, Police officers must constantly be on the watch
  for unusual or dangerous circumstances and events; in serving the
  public good, they carry a heavy responsibility; they often have
  just moments to make decisions, and they put their lives on the
  line for the safety and protection of others every day; and
         WHEREAS, Due to the vigilance, quick thinking, and good
  judgment of Officer Fields, the suspect was quickly apprehended;
  throughout the incident, Officer Fields fulfilled his
  responsibilities as a member of the Lakeview Police Department
  with courage and determination; he is an excellent public servant
  and a credit to his department, and the citizens of Texas are
  truly grateful for his service; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
  Legislature, hereby commend Officer Christopher Fields of the
  Lakeview Police Department for his professionalism and his
  exemplary service to his community; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  Officer Fields as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
