Longway, who is set to retire as the Northwest Region chief of the Texas Department of Public Safety on August 31, 2025, after an impressive 36-year career with the agency. Longway began his service in October 1988 as a highway patrol officer and has held various positions, including narcotics investigator and regional director since August 2019.

The resolution also extends best wishes for his future endeavors and calls for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared as a token of appreciation for his service.
