SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 383
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize Thor, an exceptionally talented K-9 member of the Abilene
	Police Department who was medically retired on January 23, 2017,
	after four and a half years of distinguished service; and
	WHEREAS, During his years on the police force, Thor
	responded to 5,000 calls for service; he contributed to 180
	felony arrests and 160 misdemeanor arrests, and he helped seize
	illegal drugs with a street value of more than $1 million; and
	WHEREAS, Thor was one of five K-9 members of the Abilene
	Police Department; he completed his duties with focus, skill, and
	determination, and he is medically retiring despite his
	instinctive desire to continue his service; and
	WHEREAS, Thor was a highly respected member of the
	department who was beloved by fellow officers and by members of
	the community; he will be enjoying his future at the home of his

	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
	Legislature, hereby commend Thor for his exceptional service to
	the Abilene community and extend to him best wishes for the
