| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Jesus R. Torres, who retired as assistant chief of | ||
| police of the Laredo Police Department after 37 years of | ||
| distinguished service in law enforcement; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Jesus Torres began his career in law enforcement | ||
| in 1980 as a peace officer with the Laredo International Airport | ||
| Police Department, and he was hired by the Laredo Police | ||
| Department the following year; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Torres rose through the ranks to become a | ||
| skilled criminal investigator and a respected supervisor; he is | ||
| credited with implementing new tactics to track violent crimes, | ||
| and his success in developing partnerships with the Mexican | ||
| Consulate Office and the United States Consulate authorities in | ||
| Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, ultimately led to the prosecution of | ||
| several notorious criminals and assassin groups; he was promoted | ||
| to assistant chief of police in 2009; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A trusted public servant, Jesus Torres has been a | ||
| speaker for a number of community organizations and has promoted | ||
| public safety and awareness in areas such as domestic violence, | ||
| homelessness, mental health issues, and addiction; he is | ||
| dedicated to helping his community, and he has earned the | ||
| enduring respect of area citizens; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Throughout his career, Jesus Torres manifested | ||
| uncommon talent in managing the complex responsibilities of his | ||
| positions in law enforcement, and his presence at the Laredo | ||
| Police Department will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend former assistant police chief Jesus | ||
| R. Torres on his exceptional career 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. | ||
