Last week, during National Police Week, we proudly recognized and celebrated the officers who serve and protect our community every day.

The City of Fate was honored to stand alongside law enforcement agencies from across Rockwall County during the annual memorial ceremony, paying tribute to the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.

We are grateful for the courage, professionalism, and commitment of our Fate officers and all public safety personnel who continue to serve with integrity and compassion. Thank you for all you do for our community. 💙
