A concurrent RESOLUTION

To request the Department of Transportation
name the intersection of Black Street and Dave Lyle Boulevard in York County
"Lt. Larry 'LV' Vaughan Memorial Intersection" and erect appropriate signs or
markers at this location containing these words.

W
hereas, born on
January 25, 1967, in Rock Hill, Lawrence S. "LV" Vaughan Jr. grew up in
Lancaster where he became a local football legend. LV as he was called loved
sports, bonfires, fishing, and all water-related activities. He enjoyed
grilling and hanging out with family and friends as well as streaming Facebook
live; and

W
hereas, LV
joined the Rock Hill Police Department in June 1990, serving honorably and
faithfully for more than thirty years, with twenty years on the SWAT team. He
was so dedicated to the police department that at the end of his career, he
literally lived across the street from his office; and

W
hereas, during
his decades-long career he was a patrol officer, patrol supervisor, special
projects officer, criminal investigations supervisor, K-9 officer, SWAT sniper,
SWAT team leader, SWAT commander, driving instructor, firearms instructor, and
patrol rifle instructor. Along the way he earned numerous awards and
contributed to several competition-winning SWAT teams; and

W
hereas, a
leader, a mentor, and a friend, Lt. Vaughan embraced all of the challenges that
arose daily and, utilizing his unorthodox way of thinking, found a way to
resolve them. His style of policing would directly influence and educate
officers around him, unknowingly preparing them for the next time a similar
situation would arise; and

W
hereas, called
to serve and protect, Lt. Vaughan was a constant when it came to working
overtime. He often would take extra assignments for nothing other than the
opportunity to meet new people and see familiar faces. He rarely missed the
opportunity to work city council meetings or Come See Me events. Well known as
the supervisor-in-charge of the annual Christmasville Christmas Parade, Lt.
Vaughan ensured the safety of participants and spectators by leading the team
of officers throughout the event; and

W
hereas, Lt.
Vaughan retired from the Rock Hill Police Department in September 2020. He was
tragically killed in a homicide on July 23, 2021. Police Chief Chris Watts
said, "The retirement of LV left us with a challenge of having to replace
someone with so much knowledge, experience, and dedication. The loss of LV has
left us with a void that can never be replaced"; and

W
hereas, Lt.
Vaughan leaves behind a heralded career that is truly one for the ages. It is
only fitting and proper that this native son of the Palmetto State always shall
be remembered by having a road in the City of Rock Hill named in his memory. Now,
therefore,

B
e it resolved by
the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

T
hat the members
of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the
Department of Transportation name the intersection of Black Street and Dave
Lyle Boulevard in York County "Lt. Larry 'LV' Vaughan Memorial Intersection"
and erect appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.

B
e it further
resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of
Transportation.
