Last night, during the City Council meeting, we proudly celebrated Heather Boznango for 10 years of dedicated service with the La Porte Police Department!

For the past decade, Heather has faithfully answered the call of public safety communications, serving our community with professionalism, dedication, and compassion. As a Dispatcher, she has played a vital role behind the scenes, being a calm and trusted voice for those in need while providing critical support to our officers in the field.

Heather has also served as a Lead Telecommunicator, taking on additional responsibilities and helping guide and support her fellow dispatchers. Her experience, dependability, and commitment have made her an invaluable part of the La Porte Police Department family.

Also recognized during last night’s City Council meeting was Officer Brett Salter, who celebrated an incredible 20 years of dedicated service with the La Porte Police Department!

Although Officer Salter was not pictured, we certainly want to recognize and celebrate this remarkable milestone.

Throughout his 20 years with LPPD, Officer Salter has served in a variety of important roles, including as a Patrol Officer, Bomb Squad Officer, and currently as a DOT Officer. His years of service reflect his versatility, dedication, and commitment to protecting and serving the La Porte community.

Please join us in congratulating Officer Brett Salter on 20 years and TCO Heather Boznango on 10 years of faithful service! We are grateful for their dedication and the many ways they have served our department and community.

Welcome Back, Students and Staff!

As the new school year begins, the La Porte Police Department is proud to welcome back the La Porte Independent School District students, teachers, and staff.

The safety of our children and school communities is one of our highest priorities. Our School Resource Officers will work closely with school personnel throughout the year to help ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment.

I encourage everyone to remain vigilant in school zones, watch for children and school crossing guards, follow traffic laws, and stop for school buses as they load and unload children.

To our students: work hard, make good choices, and have a great year. To our teachers and staff: thank you for the important work you do every day.

On behalf of the La Porte Police Department, welcome back, and have a safe and successful school year!
