   10/03/18  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 8)

TO CONGRATULATE LIEUTENANT BOB BERES OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY PATROL ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT, TO COMMEND AND THANK HIM FOR TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, Lieutenant Bob Beres, known affectionately as "Trooper Bob," has faithfully and diligently served the people of South Carolina in various capacities, first as a defender of our nation in the United States Navy (stationed at the Naval Weapons Station in Goose Creek and in the Persian Gulf) and most notably as a South Carolina State Trooper for twenty-four years, beginning in 1994; and

Whereas, after four years of military service and twenty-four years of service with the South Carolina Highway Patrol (SCHP), he is about to embark on a well-earned retirement from his present post as SCHP spokesman/executive officer for the Community Relations & Recruiting Unit of the SCHP Community Relations Office; and

Whereas, his selfless service, integrity, and commitment to excellence in his work have brought him numerous accolades, one of his most recent honors being a 2018 National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Southeast Emmy Award for the South Carolina Department of Public Safety's Emoji DUI PSA, which he starred in and helped create. Lieutenant Beres accepted this Best Public Service Announcement Award on behalf of the agency at the ceremony held June 16, 2018, in Atlanta. In the past, Trooper Bob was honored as the state's top pick for Trooper of the Year and later received a "Top Cop" award in Washington, D.C., from John Walsh of America's Most Wanted; and

Whereas, the House, appreciative of the dedication and service Bob Beres has bestowed on this great State, takes much pleasure in wishing him all the best as he enters retirement, and the members trust he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Lieutenant Bob Beres of the South Carolina Highway Patrol on the occasion of his retirement, commend and thank him for twenty-four years of distinguished service to the people of South Carolina, and wish him much success and fulfillment in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Lieutenant Bob Beres.
