Senate Resolution No. 57 honors Lieutenant Richard L. Jankovsky III for his 23 years of dedicated service with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and his leadership as president of the Department of Public Safety Officers Association. Beginning his career in 2002, Jankovsky held various positions across Texas, including Laredo and Corpus Christi, and played crucial roles in disaster response and border security operations. His military background in the United States Coast Guard further underscores his commitment to public service.

In addition to his operational achievements, Jankovsky has been a strong advocate for his fellow officers, representing their interests in multiple legislative sessions and promoting ethical standards within the department. He is also recognized for his community involvement, particularly in children's health advocacy, inspired by his daughter's battle with cancer. The resolution commends Jankovsky for his integrity, leadership, and compassion, wishing him well in his future endeavors as he retires from a distinguished career.
