For those who have not heard. I will be leaving the Merkel Police Department and Merkel ISD to become the Chief Of Police for Tye, Texas on June 1, 2016. I want to thank Chief Thomas Jones and Sgt Chirs Ortiz and all my fellow Officers in Merkel. This city is truly blessed to have these Men and Women of this department. They are so invested in providing you the best Police Services. I also would like to thank the MISD Administration, Mr. Allen, Mr. Omalley, Mr. Cumby, Mr. Hodges, Mr Jones, and Ms Englert. You all are so amazing and such a blessing to work with. I know this is long but I also want to thank the amazing teachers, counselors of this district.

I have known this young lady for a long time. She could always bring a smile to my face with her sweet notes that she would leave on my desk after a long night of patrol. She has always amazed me. Since the first time I met her I knew she was going to do great things..Congrats Matty and all the Merkel FFA!! I am truly blessed to know you!!

What a bitter sweet night. Last night was the Merkel Prom. To see the class of 2016 all dressed up and looking so awesome, it was bitter sweet because I know they will be graduating and changing the world, but their hearts and smiles and just the awesomeness of them has changed me in a such a way that there are no words I can express what they mean to me. I realized last night that I won't see them everyday in the hallways and in class next year. Great job class of 2016

Well many of you know my Partner Kevin badge number 806A. Kevin has never been one to pass up a good thing. So yesterday, he went 10-42 for the last time in Merkel, America and will be going to France. My new friend Victor Navarre will be taking Kevin back to France for Kevin's European Vacation. Kevin and I have been through a lot mean dogs, mad Mom's, Drunk Drivers, a high speed chase or two but most of all some good laughs. I will miss Kevin (806A) but those of you who know him he never passes up a good thing. I must warn Victor Navarre, Kevin loves cheese just don't let him eat it when you are stuck in a car all day with him. To Victor and the rest of my new French friends, it was a great pleasure meeting you! Please stay in touch and take good care of my Partner...Kevin 806A, EOW 4-6-2016...Love you buddy!!!

It is hard to believe that spring break is here. I hope that all of you have a great vacation. Just a friendly reminder to wear your seat belt and if you are out after dark wear light colored clothing so you can be seen. Do not ever get in a car if the driver has been drinking, if you can, take their keys and call someone else for a ride. And remember stranger danger, if you don't know them stay away. If you go to the lake, remember water safety. If you go out in a boat all passengers age 13 and under must wear a life jacket, and their must be life jackets for each person in the water craft. They cannot be in storage. It has been a great year so far and I look forward to seeing each of you after the break!!

Tomorrow, the students at Merkel High School will experience the Drive Alive tour. Educating them on the dangers or texting and driving. Texting and driving is just as dangerous as Drinking and Drinking according to statics.. What a great program!!
