SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 19
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize Arlington Chief of Police Will Johnson, who is the
  recipient of the 2013 Gary P. Hayes Memorial Award; and
         WHEREAS, This award is given each year by the Police
  Executive Research Forum in Washington, D.C., and honors an
  up-and-coming law enforcement officer of outstanding character
  who has exhibited a strong record of leadership and commitment to
  better policing in his or her community; and
         WHEREAS, Chief Johnson epitomizes these principles; he has
  led the department as its interim chief of police, and now as its
  formal chief, since April of 2012; in that time, he has shown
  exceptional communication skills and a results-oriented
  approach, and he has earned the deep respect of his officers and
  his peers; and
         WHEREAS, Among his accomplishments are an 11-percent
  reduction in crime in 2012; he has also increased case clearance
  rates, reduced gang shootings, implemented effective
  problem-solving initiatives, and increased gang arrests; and
         WHEREAS, This 16-year veteran of the Arlington Police
  Department has taken a proactive approach to policing; he has
  introduced new programs to acknowledge employee excellence, and
  in a short period of time, he has proved to be a most skilled and
  effective chief of police; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
  Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Arlington Chief
  of Police Will Johnson on receiving the 2013 Gary P. Hayes
  Memorial Award and extend to him sincere best wishes for further
  success in all his future endeavors; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
  honor of Chief Johnson as an expression of highest esteem from
  the Texas Senate.
