Flooding can be dangerous โ€” stay prepared, stay safe.๐Ÿš๏ธ

Stay tuned to the changing weather conditions to stay ahead of potential danger. Here are key tips to protect yourself and your loved ones:

Turn Around, Donโ€™t Drown

- Never drive through flood water โ€” even 6 inches can sweep your car away.
- Avoid bridges over fastโ€‘moving water.
- If your car is trapped, stay inside. If water rises, get on the roof and signal for help.

Stay Safe at Home

- Always follow evacuation orders.
- If flooding starts, move to the highest level.
- Only go to the roof if necessary and signal for help.

fi****ms instructors spent the day at the range sharpening skills, building confidence and putting a little friendly competition to work during fi****ms instructor in-service.

Precision matters. Repetition matters. And quality instruction matters.

Our fi****ms instructors are responsible for taking what they learn here and bringing it back to the field - training Troopers to safely, confidently and effectively handle their weapons when it matters most.

Days like this are about more than rounds down range. Theyโ€™re about refining technique, sharing knowledge, strengthening camaraderie and making sure our instructors are prepared to develop the next group of highly trained Troopers.

Always a fun day at the range.

Thank you Jefferson County Sheriff's Office-Texas for sharing your facility with us.

Following the ex*****on of a search warrant in the area, law enforcement officers seized illegal narcotics and fi****ms and arrested seven suspects.

Apparently, the stash house was operating with a little โ€œflea marketโ€ energy - multiple people were inside, allegedly attempting to purchase various illegal products when officers arrived. Needless to say, business hours ended early.

This operation was the result of strong teamwork between multiple law enforcement agencies working together to disrupt criminal activity and keep dangerous drugs and fi****ms off our streets.

Great work by all agencies involved!

DPS 102 | AIR OPS TUESDAY ๐Ÿš

A motorcycle traveling at speeds in excess of 160 mph is more than just speeding - it is a reckless and irresponsible decision that puts the rider, other motorists, and law enforcement at serious risk.

DPS 102 recently assisted Bellaire Police Department as officers worked to safely bring a high-speed motorcycle pursuit to an end. From above, our DPS Aircraft Division provided real-time information, maintained a visual on the motorcycle, and helped ground units coordinate their response.

Situations like this highlight the tremendous value DPS aircraft brings to law enforcement operations. Having an eye in the sky allows officers on the ground to make better-informed decisions while helping reduce unnecessary risk during dangerous incidents.

Kudos to all agencies and personnel involved for their teamwork, communication, and professionalism.

At 160+ mph, there is almost no room for error. One bad decision can life-changing consequences.

Colonel Freeman F. Martin joined state leaders today to brief Greg Abbott on the resources Texas has ready to protect and serve Texans ahead of potential flooding this week.

DPS stands ready to respond and work alongside our local, state and federal partners to help keep Texans and our communities safe.

Texans โ€” remember to stay weather-aware, heed guidance from your local officials and never drive through flooded roadways. If you must get out on the road, check DriveTexas.org to plan a safe route.
