Today, the Freer Police Department had the privilege of recognizing students from each grade level at Lucy Aragon Junior High School who demonstrated perfect attendance. Students were presented with gift cards as a small token of appreciation for their dedication, commitment, and hard work throughout the school year.

We congratulate all of the students and encourage them to continue striving for success both inside and outside the classroom.

Earlier today, the Freer Police Department participated in the Texas Department of Transportation’s “Click It or Ticket” event in Laredo, Texas, joining agencies and community partners from across the region in an effort to promote safe driving behaviors and increase seat belt awareness.

This event marked the largest TxDOT traffic safety campaign event of the year and was held in partnership with Doctors Hospital of Laredo.

The Freer Police Department remains committed to roadway safety, traffic enforcement, and educating the public on the importance of wearing seat belts and driving responsibly.

We appreciate TxDOT and all participating agencies and partners for their continued efforts in keeping Texas roadways safe.
