October is Texas Law Enforcement Appreciation Month, and I want to personally thank the men and women who wear the badge with courage, integrity, and dedication.
To my deputies at the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office and our fellow officers across Texas: I know the long hours, difficult decisions, and sacrifices this profession demands. I am proud to serve alongside you and grateful for your commitment to keeping our communities safe.
To your families, thank you for standing beside you and sharing in those sacrifices. Your support means more than words can express.
Please join me this month in thanking our law enforcement officers. Behind every badge is someone who has answered the call to serve.
