Juneteenth Celebrations

The Odessa Police Department and City of Odessa were proud to take part in the recent Juneteenth celebrations, including tonight’s Juneteenth Parade – a powerful celebration of freedom, culture, and community.

On June 19th, 1865, Union Troops arrived in Galveston to deliver news that enslaved African Americans had been freed. Texas slaves were among the last to know, President Abraham Lincoln had signed the emancipation proclamation two years earlier.

Thank you to the Black Cultural Council of Odessa for organizing these meaningful events and for your continued leadership in uplifting and inspiring our community!

Honoring a Fallen Hero

The Odessa Police Department would like to extend condolences to Odessa Fire Rescue and the family of Fallen Firefighter Lieutenant Isai Huerta. Lieutenant Huerta died last night while battling a fire in West Odessa. As a show of respect, flags have been lowered to half-staff at the Odessa Police Department.

OPD officers will also be wearing mourning bands to pay tribute to the fallen firefighter. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Huerta family and our brothers and sisters in red during this time of profound loss. We also wish a speedy recovery to the other firefighters who were injured.

Statement from the Mayor of Odessa Cal Hendrick:

Today’s shooting in Midland is a heartbreaking tragedy that has deeply affected all of West Texas. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and all those impacted by this senseless act of violence.

In times such as these, the communities of Odessa and Midland stand together. We remain steadfast in our commitment to our neighboring community as it grieves, heals, and moves forward.

We are profoundly grateful to the first responders, law enforcement officers, and emergency personnel who answered the call of duty with courage, professionalism, and selfless dedication.

Let us come together in a spirit of unity, compassion, and resolve. May we support those who are suffering, comfort those who are grieving, and work collectively toward a safer and stronger future for all.
