Congratulations to our Law Enforcement Employees of the Quarter, Deputy Amalla and Deputy Coppi. These deputies worked together to recover items from a string of thefts and breaks-ins in Lubbock.

As patrol deputies, most of their required duties are complete at the end of a service call. Patrol Deputies typically take reports and turn them over for follow-up with the investigations division. But when a stolen bank card appeared to be in use, Deputy Amalla and Deputy Coppi jumped into action. The deputies use a range of tools available to them to identify and locate the suspect, ultimately leading to an arrest. Greta work guys, and thank you for looking out for our citizens!

This week, Sheriff Rowe welcomed corrections professionals from across the state to the Lubbock County Detention Center. Captain Lopez led a two-day event hosted by the Texas Jail Association Programs Committee. The focus was on jail programs and how they impact our greater communities when inmates are ultimately released. Topics included how to step up, manage, and improve upon existing inmate programs offered at jails across the state. Programs discussed included rehabilitation classes, vocational training, educational courses, religious services, and re-entry services.

We are very grateful to be able to host this event. Thank you to everyone who came and shared their expertise.
