Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that the significant contributions of Sergeant Bryan Murphy have been honored by the Myrtle Beach Rotary Club with the club's 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award; and
Whereas, after serving with distinction in the United States Army, Bryan Murphy entered a career in law enforcement, serving the Emporia Police Department in Emporia, Virginia, for nine years before moving to Myrtle Beach; and
Whereas, during his fifteen years with the Myrtle Beach Police Department, he has served in a variety of capacities, first as a uniformed police officer on patrol shift and then waterfront shift; and
Whereas, Sergeant Murphy soon volunteered and was accepted as a school resource officer (SRO), and during his duty as an SRO, he developed relationships with the students, faculty, and community that have enhanced his ability to provide protection and assistance to the community; and
Whereas, desiring a new challenge in police work, he competed for the relatively new position of coordinator for special events, for which he worked tirelessly in his responsibility to staff and to regulate special events, and during his tenure the number of special events handled by the unit quadrupled; and
Whereas, upon his promotion to sergeant, Sergeant Murphy was assigned as a supervisor to the Street Crimes Unit, where he worked on high profile cases and high street-level crime areas of the city with the unit, which made several significant arrests and slowed down the drug trade; and
Whereas, he transferred to the Regulatory and Training Unit when a position became available, and with his diverse experience, he has been a valuable asset to supervise the regulatory unit, and he has thrived as a training instructor with a passion to equip the next generation of police officers; and
Whereas, although he serves the Myrtle Beach Police Department with vigor, Sergeant Murphy finds off-duty time to enjoy his family and to serve the young people in the community as an avid football referee; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives values the selfless service of Bryan Murphy in protecting citizens of Horry County and the State of South Carolina, as well as visitors to our State, and the members congratulate him on receiving this prestigious and well-deserved recognition. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
