The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement was honored to present the State of Texas Law Enforcement Achievement Award for Valor to Officer Cary Spate of the Killeen Independent School District Police Department, Officer Patrick Blair of the Killeen Police Department, Sergeant Investigator Robert Mallett of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, OIG and Trooper Brody Telfer of the Texas Department of Public Safety - Central Texas Region.

Officers engaged in a pursuit in which the suspect exceeded 100 miles per hour and later crashed into the Killeen Mall parking lot. The suspect continued driving approximately 100 yards into the store, striking several civilians, and causing major damage. Together, these four peace officers neutralized the threat and turned off the ignition before the driver could enter the main concourse of the shopping center.

The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement was honored to present the State of Texas Law Enforcement Achievement Award to Officer Chris Cano of the Belton Police Department.

Officer Cano risked his own safety when he confronted a wrong way driver on I-35. Aware that the inside shoulder ended soon, he made the conscious decision to position his patrol vehicle directly in the path and stop the oncoming threat.
