WHEREAS, Members of the Chambers County Sheriff's Office |
|
|
Explorers achieved great distinction with their exceptional |
|
|
showing at the Space City Explorer Challenge, hosted by the Houston |
|
|
Police Department on March 29, 2025; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Individuals between the ages of 14 and 21 are |
|
|
eligible for the Explorer program, which provides educational and |
|
|
leadership training as well as community service opportunities that |
|
|
help equip youth with the skills necessary to become engaged and |
|
|
productive citizens; the CCSO Explorers and teams from the |
|
|
San Antonio Police Department, the Dallas Police Department, and |
|
|
the Harris County Sheriff's Office joined other posts from across |
|
|
Texas at the annual contest; participants are tested on their |
|
|
knowledge, teamwork, and practical skills as they compete in |
|
|
realistic law enforcement-based events, including search warrant |
|
|
of a residence, burglary in progress, intoxicated driver, and |
|
|
officer down; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Demonstrating impressive professionalism and |
|
|
discipline, CCSO Explorers Kam Carter, LilliAnn Dueitt, Cameron |
|
|
Gonzales, and Ian Nix excelled in three categories, placing first |
|
|
in arrest/search warrant, third in burglary in process, and third |
|
|
in intoxicated driver; the CCSO initiative benefits from the |
|
|
mentorship of Sergeant Brian Orlando and Deputy Mariana Avalos as |
|
|
well as the support of county District Attorney Cheryl Lieck Henry |
|
|
and Sheriff Brian Hawthorne, who has hired a number of former |
|
|
Explorers for positions in his department; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their hard work and commitment to |
|
|
excellence, the CCSO Explorers have brought great pride to their |
|
|
community, and they are truly deserving of special recognition for |
|
|
their accomplishments; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Chambers County Sheriff's |
|
|
Office Explorers on their outstanding performance at the 2025 Space |
|
|
City Explorer Challenge and extend to these fine young Texans |
|
|
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
