We are deeply saddened to share that one of our Dallas County Chapter members was struck and seriously injured last night while outside of his patrol vehicle. Deputy Robinson was working a traffic hazard on the highway when he was struck by a vehicle that lost control. The impact caused Deputy Robinson to fall off a bridge causing severe injuries. He is scheduled to undergo surgery soon and is expected to fully recover.

Please keep Deputy Christian Robinson and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Chapter Vice President, Sergeant M. Valladarez, has been in contact with the family, and Chapter President Miguel Hernandez has remained at the hospital with our member and his loved ones, offering support on behalf of the entire chapter.
