Service to the Community

Officer Tanksley, or Tank as he is called by those who know and love him, has been a long time driving force behind the N.E. Division of the Positive Interaction Program. PIP, as it is called, is a citizen/police organization designed for but not limited to the following: Problem solving and stratagies regarding crime, promoting the civic,social, and educational development of its members, developing methods of increasing understanding between police and community, conducting discussion groups, forums, panels, lectures, or other programs to benefit members and combating community deteriorations and juvenile delinquency.

In 1992, Officer Tanksley was Officer of the Year and Black Officer of the Year, Honorable Mentioned 100 Club, 1991 Officer of the Week(Houston Chronicle) and in 1989 Northeast Chamber of Commerce Officer of the Month.

There is just not enough a person can say about a man and public servant like "Tank". We at WICS believe that he truly exhibits the philisophy that we share, in that-service to the community and giving of oneself is one of the greatest gifts anyone can give to his fellow man. We are sure that no one can ever know all of the many ways that Tank has touched his community near and far and has changed the lives of many people, some of whom he will never meet or even know about.

Tanks' fierce loyalty to his family and faith are truly traits that we pray all men can admire and strive to apply to their own lives.

Thanks Tank!!!
