           SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE  :  Senate Rule 28.8


           SUBJECT  :    CHP Officer Thomas P. Coleman Memorial

           SOURCE  :     California Association of Highway Patrolmen


           DIGEST  :    This resolution names a segment of State Highway 
          Route 10 in San Bernardino County as the CHP Officer Thomas 
          P. Coleman Memorial Highway.

           ANALYSIS :    This resolution has been introduced as a 
          tribute to the life and work of CHP Officer Thomas P. 
          Coleman, who died in the line of duty.

          Born in West Covina, Tom Coleman graduated from Damien High 
          School in La Verne and then joined the U.S. Marine Corps.  
          Following his service in the Marine Corps and graduation 
          from the CHP Academy, Officer Coleman served for seven 
          years in the CHP, the last two on motorcycle patrol duty in 
          the San Bernardino area.  On June 11, 2010, Officer Coleman 
                                                           CONTINUED





                                                                SCR 25
                                                                Page

          died as a result of injuries sustained when, during a high 
          speed pursuit, his motorcycle collided with another 
          vehicle.  Officer Coleman, who was known as a wonderful 
          father and husband, is survived by his wife and their two 
          children.  He was 33 years old when he died.

          This resolution designates State Route 10 from Texas Street 
          to South Wabash Avenue in San Bernardino County as the "CHP 
          Officer Thomas P. Coleman Memorial Highway."  The 
          resolution further requests that the Department of 
          Transportation erect appropriate signs upon receiving 
          donations from non-state sources to cover the costs.
