Our regional partners kicked off September with live-burn training, and we’re excited to take part!

Professional development isn’t just about checking a box—it’s about taking ownership of becoming better at what we do and providing amazing support to the public safety partners we serve.

As the first first responder, our role starts long before the boots hit the ground. Getting out in the field, manning the radio, and experiencing live-burn training helps us understand the whole picture, see the challenges our partners face, and better support them when it matters most.

Great isn’t a destination—it’s a journey. We’re constantly looking for the next step, the next opportunity to learn, and the next way to stay at the front of our profession.

Better trained. Better prepared. Better partners.

This will be the first time Dallas County Passport office offers a remote location outside of Dallas.

This is huge! Im so grateful for Honorable Felecia Pitre for talking my call and idea to bring Dallas county to the Best Southwest.

Thank you to our Library staff for embracing this and working collaboratively on this initiative.

There will be limited spaces!
