“Madam President, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the memory of Deputy Robert ``Bob'' Paris, a dedicated public servant in the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office and a kind and loyal colleague, friend, and family man. On the morning of April 12, 2012, Deputy Paris was tragically killed in the line of duty while serving an eviction notice in north Modesto. A graduate of Tracy High School and the Ray Simon Criminal Justice Training Center in Modesto, Bob Paris joined the Stanislaus Sheriff's Department as a reserve deputy in May 1996 and became a full-time employee in 1998. During his tenure with the department, he served the community as a court bailiff, a patrol deputy, and as a member of the sheriff's water enforcement team. He was also the department's first- aid and CPR instructor at the sheriff's academy. For the past 16 years, Deputy Paris dutifully served the citizens and communities of Stanislaus County with great pride, integrity, and valor. His devotion to helping others, along with his passion for law enforcement, helped him become a respected member of the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department. Deputy Paris served Stanislaus County with honor and bravery, and I send my heartfelt sympathies to his family, friends, and colleagues. ____________________”
