          Officer Russell died in the line of duty on July 31, 2007,  
          when he was placing a spike strip across State Route (SR)  
          50 to end a pursuit and a fleeing suspect's vehicle struck  
          him.  He is survived by his wife, Lynn, whom he had married  
          in 1997.

          The author's office introduced this resolution to honor and  
          recognize the life, work, and ultimate sacrifice in the  
          line of duty of CHP Officer Douglas "Scott" Russell.

          eastbound post-mile 08.533 and westbound post-mile 08.598  
          in the community of Shingle Springs in El Dorado County as  
          the "CHP Officer Douglas "Scott" Russell Memorial Freeway."  
           The resolution further requests that the Department of  
          Transportation erect appropriate signs upon receiving  
          donations from non-state sources to cover the costs.
