|
WHEREAS, Senior Corporal Chris Wagner of the Dallas Police |
|
|
Department has been named the 2012 Cops' Cop Officer of the Year by |
|
|
the Dallas Police Association, providing a fitting opportunity to |
|
|
pay tribute to this outstanding peace officer; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After serving his nation for four years in the |
|
|
U.S. Air Force, Corporal Wagner joined the Dallas PD in 1997, and in |
|
|
his more than 15 years on the force, he has earned the respect and |
|
|
admiration of his fellow officers for his dedication, attention to |
|
|
detail, and hard work; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In the course of his career thus far, Corporal |
|
|
Wagner has arrested thousands of suspects, and for more than a |
|
|
decade, he was an indispensable member of the southwest patrol |
|
|
crime response team, tasked with ridding the region of drug houses; |
|
|
aware that many drug houses were stealing electricity, Corporal |
|
|
Wagner began working with the Oncor Electric Delivery Company to |
|
|
cut them off the grid; this innovative method of fighting crime has |
|
|
since been adopted by other police units in Dallas and other |
|
|
jurisdictions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Recently assigned to southwest patrol's burglary |
|
|
task force, Corporal Wagner will no doubt continue to build on his |
|
|
reputation for fairness, resourcefulness, and diligence; he truly |
|
|
represents Dallas's finest, and he may take pride in this |
|
|
impressive and heartfelt recognition from his brothers and sisters |
|
|
in blue; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Senior Corporal Chris Wagner on his |
|
|
selection as the Cops' Cop Officer of the Year and extend to him |
|
|
sincere best wishes for continued success with his important work; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Corporal Wagner as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
