SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 688
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Pearland Police Chief Joseph Christopher Doyle, who |
|
is retiring after 38 years of service with the Pearland Police |
|
Department; and |
|
WHEREAS, Chief Doyle joined the Pearland Police Department |
|
in January of 1979, and his impressive career has included |
|
experience in nearly every aspect of police work; in his time |
|
with the department, he has served as a detective, a patrol |
|
sergeant, and a commander for a multi-agency special weapons and |
|
tactics team; and |
|
WHEREAS, This exemplary public servant has handled his |
|
far-reaching responsibilities with exceptional skill and |
|
dedication and has acted with courage and tenacity in protecting |
|
the community he loves; he is noted for playing an instrumental |
|
role in acquiring and implementing the state-of-the-art radio |
|
and laptop systems currently in use by the department; and |
|
WHEREAS, Chief Doyle was promoted to assistant chief of |
|
police in 1994, and he has led the department since his |
|
appointment to chief of police in 1999; he is the longest-serving |
|
chief in the department's 57-year history; and |
|
WHEREAS, A respected and admired member of his community, |
|
Chief Doyle has received numerous letters of commendation for |
|
exceeding the call of duty in his job performance and for |
|
fostering cooperation with law enforcement partners outside of |
|
the Pearland department when handling cross-jurisdictional |
|
investigations; he has displayed superior judgment in dealing |
|
with the unique challenges of law enforcement duty, and his |
|
presence at the Pearland Police Department will be greatly missed; |
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend Pearland Police Chief Joseph |
|
Christopher Doyle for his many contributions to his community and |
|
extend to him best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for him |
|
as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
