  Officer Cadet Class on August 1, 2017; and
         WHEREAS, The members of the Texas State Park Police are

  the center, he completed course work in a range of subjects and
  received in-depth training in such areas as first aid,
  self-defense, and firearms; following his commissioning, he was
  assigned to work at Palo Duro Canyon State Park; and
         WHEREAS, The men and women who become Texas Park Police
  officers play an essential role in protecting our public lands and
  the members of the public who visit these popular attractions, and
  it is fitting that Jake Voigt's achievement in joining this select
  group be recognized; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
