| WHEREAS, Sergeant Randy Thumann has rendered outstanding | ||
| service to the State of Texas throughout his highly accomplished | ||
| career as a drug interdiction officer with the Fayette County | ||
| Sheriff's Office; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Sergeant Thumann has worked primarily in a 23-mile | ||
| stretch along Interstate 10, which connects San Antonio and | ||
| Houston, where he and his longtime K-9 partner, Lobos, have helped | ||
| confiscate well over $100 million worth of drugs; several of their | ||
| most notable busts have made headlines in major newspapers across | ||
| Texas, and when not on patrol, he has enjoyed bringing his K-9 | ||
| partner to schools and events in the community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In July 2018, Sergeant Thumann was honored with the | ||
| Greg McFarlin-Max Banks Award for Texas Lawman of the Year at the | ||
| Sheriffs' Association of Texas Conference; two months later, he | ||
| achieved national recognition when he was announced as the | ||
| 2017-2018 Criminal Interdiction Officer of the Year, the highest | ||
| accolade attainable by an interdiction officer, at the annual Motor | ||
| Vehicle Criminal Interdiction Conference in San Diego, California; | ||
| at the conference, he was also presented with an award for making | ||
| the largest cold-stop heroin seizure in the country; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Sergeant Randy Thumann has helped make Texas a safer | ||
| place through his dedication to public service and his superb skill | ||
| as a K-9 officer and trainer, and the recent honors that he has | ||
| received reflect the great esteem in which he is held by his peers | ||
| in the law enforcement community; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commend Sergeant Randy Thumann for his service | ||
| and achievements as a drug interdiction officer with the Fayette | ||
| County Sheriff's Office and extend to him sincere best wishes for | ||
| continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Sergeant Thumann as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
