Exceptional service is Sergeant Laughlin’s specialty! Thank you for all you do, Sergeant 💙

RBFCU, House of Rock, and ROCK 92/7 wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to Sergeant Laughlin who puts his heart into serving our community! For the last 11 years he has been the School Resource Officer at Gregory-Portland ISD, proving that mentorship is just as important as protection. After almost 27 years of service with the Gregory Portland Police Dept, his legacy isn't just in his service it’s in the students who are graduating today because he told them they could when they believed they couldn't.

We are so proud to honor him as this week’s First Responder who Rocks! Enjoy a night out at the House of Rock on us! 🤘

Telecommunicator Showcase: Hallie Harrison. Hallie began her career at Portland PD in June 2024. She came to us with previous dispatch experience from Oklahoma and Colorado. She came all this way to be with her fiance, now husband. Hallie will be moving back to Colorado soon and we're sure going to miss her. She says she'll miss us too, but not the heat and mosquitos. Such a genuinely sweet and kind person! We wish the newlyweds all the best in their life together in a much cooler, non-mosquito infested area of the country.
