And whereas law enforcement officers across the nation, including those serving our schools, bravely accept the call to protect and serve, often placing themselves in harm's
011way to ensure the safety of others. And whereas the Lake Dallas Police Department exemplifies the dedication of working daily to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for students, staff, and visitors across all district campuses and facilities. And whereas school resource officers from the Lake Dallas Police Department and the current police department serve with professionalism, compassion, and a strong commitment to campus safety, mentorship, and proactive engagement with students. And whereas these officers through their collaborative effort foster positive relationships, respond to emergencies, support behavioral threat assessments, and serve as vital guardians of the school community. And whereas the board of trustees of Lake Dallas ISD expresses its deepest gratitude to all school-based law enforcement personnel and stand in solemn remembrance of the brave officers nationwide who have fallen in the line of duty.
