Michigan House Resolution 390 - June 26, 2005
House Resolution No. 390.
A resolution honoring Deputy Darron McKinney.
Whereas, In grateful recognition of his loyal service protecting and defending the people of Wayne County, we offer our congratulations and thanks to Deputy Darron McKinney. He has gone above and beyond the tour of duty and has shown his commitment to public service many times throughout his years as a police officer; and
Whereas, This year, Darron recorded an album paying tribute to the men and women who protect the public. His song, "A Call to Courage" has touched the entire Metropolitan Detroit area. The song, that captures the essence of law enforcement, was created to bring police and those in public service closer to God. "A Call to Courage" promotes this attitude to the public. Patriotic tunes such as McKinney's have become a hit ever since the September 11th tragedies and we applaud Deputy Darron McKinney as he joins forces with millions of other musicians who bring the public together in such a tragic time. On behalf of everyone who has benefited directly from the work of this outstanding law enforcement officer and musician, and the countless others who reap the rewards of his sacrifices, we thank him; and
Whereas, Few professions hold more responsibility and danger than police work. The increasing presence of drugs and violence in our society has served to make this an even more difficult task in recent years. As we have seen in the past year alone, the most routine and seemingly innocent situation can quickly become a moment of terror. Each day, on each shift, the men and women who protect us, cope with this pressure while maintaining the perspective that most people are law abiding; and
Whereas, We appreciate all that Deputy Darron McKinney has endured and contributed over the course of his career. We draw strength from the high standards he has set and shares with the entire Wayne County Sheriff's Department; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Deputy Darron McKinney. May he and his family always enjoy the security that he has devoted his life to providing for others; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Darron McKinney as evidence of our high regard.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Patterson moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Bishop, Neumann, Schermesser, Hardman, Richardville, Raczkowski, McConico, DeWeese, Wojno, Lipsey, Woodward, Adamini, Hansen, Gieleghem, Julian, Zelenko, Bogardus, Jamnick, Lockwood, Vander Roest, Kooiman, Murphy, Clarke, Spade, Howell, Cassis, Hale, DeRossett, Thomas, Hager, Gilbert, Ehardt, Vear, Mead, Vander Veen, Toy, Koetje, Van Woerkom, Middaugh, Rivet, Bradstreet, Drolet, Gosselin, Meyer, Pappageorge, Shulman, Bovin, Jacobs, Lemmons, Birkholz, Kowall, Faunce, Voorhees, Waters and Kolb offered the following resolution:
