R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Texans everywhere are indebted to the men and women
  of the law enforcement profession, for by their selfless devotion
  to the public welfare, they enable us to enjoy the benefits of a
  peaceful and orderly society; and
         WHEREAS, Too seldom recognized, and sometimes taken for
  granted by the public they so faithfully serve, these gallant
  individuals daily risk their lives in order to ensure domestic
  tranquility and to protect the lives and property of others; and
         WHEREAS, Senior Police Officer Amir Abdul-Khaliq of the
  Austin Police Department exemplified in his personal and
  professional conduct the singular virtues of courage, integrity,
  and steadfast resolve, and throughout his 17 years on the force, his
  meritorious service embodied the highest ideals of his vocation;
  and
         WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on September 4, 2016,
  Officer Abdul-Khaliq will long be missed by his family, his fellow
  peace officers, and the entire community; and
         WHEREAS, Though his life ended far too soon, Officer
  Abdul-Khaliq left behind a record of public service that is
  deserving of his fellow citizens' lasting respect and gratitude;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Senior Police Officer
  Amir Abdul-Khaliq and extend deepest sympathy to his relatives,
  friends, and fellow officers; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
  Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Senior
  Police Officer Amir Abdul-Khaliq.
