Bill > HR1425

This resolution congratulates Officer Dominique Akins of the Allen Police Department on receiving the 2025 State of Texas Law Enforcement Achievement Award for Valor, recognizing his heroic actions during an active shooter incident at Allen Premium Outlets on May 6, 2023. During the tragic event, a gunman killed eight people and wounded at least seven others, but Officer Akins responded swiftly and decisively, spotting the shooter within four minutes and firing three shots that neutralized the threat, potentially preventing further loss of life. The Texas House of Representatives acknowledges that the officer's bravery and quick response embody the highest ideals of law enforcement, and they officially commend him for his actions. The resolution not only congratulates Officer Akins on receiving the award from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) but also extends best wishes for his continued service and directs that an official copy of the resolution be prepared for him as an expression of high regard.
