🎖️ A Standard of Leadership 🎖️
Please join us in congratulating Officer Ethan Moffitt on completing the Port of Galveston Police Department Leadership Academy and earning the recognition of Corporal.

Officer Moffitt has been with our department for just over three years, and in that time, he has demonstrated a strong commitment to professional growth and leadership development. This is his first law enforcement position, yet he has already set himself apart through his work ethic and dedication.

He has earned an associate’s degree from College of the Mainland and has accumulated an impressive 2,596 TCOLE training hours, reflecting a level of commitment to training and self-improvement that is rarely seen, even among much more experienced officers.

Officer Moffitt is an independent thinker who is not afraid to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and seek better ways to serve. His eagerness to grow, combined with his ability to think critically and lead from where he stands, exemplifies the type of leadership we are building within this department.

We congratulate Corporal Moffitt on this accomplishment and look forward to his continued leadership and service to the Port of Galveston community. 👏
