A RESOLUTION IN MEMORY OF JESS F. HALE,
CHIEF OF THE LITTLE ROCK POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WHEREAS, the events of recent weeks have created a true
concern by the members of this Board and the citizens of the
City of Little Rock for their friend and employee, Jess F.
"Doc" Hale; and
WHEREAS, in times like these it is necessary to remember
the numerous contributions that Chief Hale has made to his
family, his friends, and his community; and
WHEREAS, in this instance such memories are easy to come
by since Chief "Doc" Hale had been such an inspiration to so
many people for so many years as a result of his hard work and
devotion to law enforcement; and
WHEREAS, the manifestations of this hard work include
rising from the rank of rookie police officer to the office of
Chief of Police, attaining the top score while a student at the
FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, receiving several letters of
commendation, and leading the investigative division of the
Attorney General's Office; and
WHEREAS, "Doc" Hale was admired for his thoughtfulness
and caring in dealing with all citizens of the City of Little
Rock; and
WHEREAS, as Chief of Police, Doc's true leadership skills
were best reflected by his humble self- effacing way of bringing
unity and calm to the Little Rock Police Department, yet all the
while earning him the unanimous respect of his officers.
