SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 73
WHEREAS, After nearly three decades of exemplary service
in law enforcement, Tim Scott retired as chief of the Big Sandy
Police Department on December 31, 2020; and
WHEREAS, Tim Scott began his 18-year tenure with the Big
Sandy Police Department as a night patrolman; sworn in as the
chief of police in 2006, he was responsible for a number of
important developments through the years, including overhauling
the agency's operations and policies and implementing the use of
body cameras; moreover, he kept the department up-to-date by
establishing a fleet lease program and by securing more than
$150,000 in grants for officer training and equipment; he retired
as the longest-serving chief in department history; and
WHEREAS, Greatly admired by his colleagues for his skilled
leadership, professionalism, and commitment to excellence, Chief
Scott may indeed take great pride in all that he has done to
protect and serve his fellow Texans as he embarks on the next
exciting chapter of his life; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
Legislature, hereby congratulate Tim Scott on his retirement as
chief of the Big Sandy Police Department and extend to him
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for Chief Scott as an expression of high regard from the
Texas Senate.
