WHEREAS, Elizabeth Nyore demonstrated exceptional kindness |
|
|
and compassion by coming to the aid of an injured Rowlett police |
|
|
officer, Sergeant Greg Baldwin, in October 2018; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A 22-year veteran of law enforcement, Sergeant |
|
|
Baldwin was engaged in a foot chase with a man with outstanding |
|
|
warrants when he suffered a fall; the incident resulted in severe |
|
|
leg and hip injuries that caused agonizing pain to the officer; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After hearing sirens and sounds of distress outside |
|
|
of her home, Liz Nyore immediately rushed to Sergeant Baldwin's |
|
|
side and did her best to comfort and calm the officer until |
|
|
paramedics arrived on the scene; now recovering from his injury, |
|
|
Sergeant Baldwin has returned to work in an administrative role for |
|
|
the Rowlett Police Department, and he looks forward to getting back |
|
|
on patrol as soon as possible; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Nyore, a Rowlett resident who proudly became a |
|
|
United States citizen in 2012, went out of her way to assist the |
|
|
officer, despite having preconceptions about law enforcement that |
|
|
she carried over from her upbringing in Nigeria; she credits her |
|
|
response on that day to the example of her mother, an orthopedic |
|
|
nurse, from whom she learned the importance of helping strangers in |
|
|
need; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Liz Nyore's act of good citizenship is a testament |
|
|
to the invaluable role of caring members of the public in making our |
|
|
communities stronger and safer, and she is indeed deserving of |
|
|
special recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Elizabeth Nyore for providing comfort to |
|
|
an injured police officer and extend to her sincere best wishes for |
|
|
the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Nyore as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
