As students head back to the classroom, letโ€™s all do our part to keep them safe.

Every trip to school should begin and end safely. That means slowing down in school zones, obeying school bus laws, putting your phone away, and staying alert behind the wheel. A few extra seconds of patience can save a life.

Galveston County law enforcement is united in one message: Drive safely. Stay attentive. Protect our kids.

Together, we can make this school year a safe one for every student, every bus driver, every crossing guard, and every family.

Football season is a chance to make great memories cheering for your team and tailgating with family and friends. Thatโ€™s why TxDOT is reminding fans to celebrate football season responsibly by always finding a sober ride through its "Drive Sober. No Regrets." statewide impaired driving campaign. The campaign aims to reduce the number of DUI-alcohol related traffic crashes, especially as fans gather across the state to support their favorite teams.

Too often, a designated driver is chosen during the course of the evening and is often considered the least drunk person in the group. The designated driver should always be a sober driver who has not consumed any amount of alcohol. Designating a driver, calling a taxi, using a rideshare service, staying where you are, calling a friend or family member, and using mass transit are the safest ways to ensure you do not drive under the influence.

One regrettable decision to drink and drive could turn game time into a DWI costing up to $17,000 in fines and fees, the loss of a license, jail time or worse. It just isnโ€™t worth it.

We're proud to welcome our newest team members to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office.

Today, we welcomed new members to our Corrections Division, Fugitive Apprehension Division, and Safe Schools Division as they were officially sworn in.

This ceremony was especially meaningful as it included another team member who made the move from across the country to become part of our agency. As we continue to expand our recruiting efforts nationwide, we're proud to attract qualified candidates who are willing to relocate and serve the citizens of Galveston County.

Congratulations to each of our newest team members. Welcome to the GCSSO family! We're proud to have you on the team and look forward to the impact you'll make serving our community.
