Today, the STISD PD was honored to participate in the annual Speedy Memorial 5k in Mission Tx, a celebration that recognizes the extraordinary courage of fallen Mission PD Corporal Jose “Speedy” Espericueta, who gave his life in the line of duty on June 20, 2019. This inspiring run raises vital funds for scholarships that support the children of first responders from the RGV. Over the past six years, the Speedy Memorial Foundation has awarded an impressive $140k in scholarships to college-bound students, and we are proud to have played a role in furthering this remarkable mission. Today, we pay tribute to the lasting legacy of Speedy and all law enforcement officers from the RGV who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our community.

May 10-16, 2026 is a time to recognize the extraordinary courage and commitment of law enforcement officers who have given their lives in service to others. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy designated May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day, and the week surrounding it as National Police Week. This week, we honor the memories of law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and we celebrate their unwavering dedication to protecting and serving their communities. Our STISD Police Officers will wear mourning bands over their badges as a symbol of respect and solidarity. The RGV community pays tribute to the officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, and to their families, who have shown remarkable strength and resilience.

Telecommunications Officers play a vital role in public safety—they are the eyes and ears of first responders in the field.

The STISD Police Department extends our sincere gratitude to the dedicated men and women of the Hidalgo County and Cameron County Sheriff’s Office Communications Divisions for providing exceptional dispatch services to our agency.

Thank you for your professionalism, commitment, and unwavering support! 🚔📡

We take full advantage of the days when we get to come together and train as team. While our students and teachers were able to spend this past Monday resting, the STISD PD took advantage of the time and spent the day training. “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another”
