SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 629
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Senior Sergeant Mickey Spillane Tolbert, who is |
|
|
retiring from the Dallas County Sheriff's Department on April 30, |
|
|
2019, after 32 years of exceptional service; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mickey Tolbert began his long career with the |
|
|
Dallas County Sheriff's Department in 1987 as an officer with the |
|
|
Detention Service Office, and he was promoted to deputy in |
|
|
January of 1989; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, He distinguished himself working in numerous |
|
|
capacities as a deputy sheriff, and in 1998, he was promoted to |
|
|
the rank of senior sergeant; he became a respected leader at the |
|
|
department while serving as commander of the Planning and |
|
|
Research Unit; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For the last 12 years of his career, Sergeant |
|
|
Tolbert has been a member of the Dallas County North Texas Auto |
|
|
Task Force, a regional task force that serves several North Texas |
|
|
counties; in addition to writing grants and coordinating funds |
|
|
for the task force, he has played a vital role in bait and covert |
|
|
operations, and he has been indispensable as a liaison and |
|
|
oversight officer for regional law enforcement partners; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Sergeant Tolbert has manifested uncommon talent |
|
|
in managing the complex responsibilities of a law enforcement |
|
|
officer; he has led by example and has been a trusted mentor to |
|
|
many, and his presence at the Dallas County Sheriff's Department |
|
|
will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Senior Sergeant Mickey Spillane |
|
|
Tolbert on his outstanding career with the Dallas County |
|
|
Sheriff's Department and his many contributions to the North |
|
|
Texas communities 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. |
