Congratulations Chief Deputy Fox! We are honored to work with such an outstanding group of deputies and thankful for Sheriff Sara Brown’s unwavering commitment to pursue excellence within her department.
The Upton County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce that Chief Deputy Chris Fox has graduated from the National FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
The FBI National Academy is widely recognized as the most prestigious training a law enforcement officer can receive in their career. Selection to attend is an honor in itself, and completion of the program reflects a high level of commitment, discipline, and leadership.
Chief Deputy Fox’s graduation is a direct reflection of his dedication to the profession and to the citizens of Upton County. Throughout his career, he has consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and a commitment to doing the job the right way. The knowledge and experience he brings back from Quantico will be a significant benefit to the Sheriff’s Office, particularly in strengthening investigations and leadership within the department.
This achievement also highlights the importance of investing in people. Sheriff Sara Brown’s decision to send Chief Deputy Fox to the Academy is a testament to her leadership and her commitment to developing leaders in the department. That investment continues to pay off for the entire county.
Chief Deputy Fox is only the second law enforcement officer in Upton County history to graduate from the FBI National Academy. The first was current Upton County Judge Dusty W. Kilgore, who expressed how proud he is to see another member of the department earn that opportunity. Judge Kilgore recognized early on that Chief Deputy Fox’s leadership and dedication made him an excellent fit for the Academy and is proud to see him complete the program.
Please join us in congratulating Chief Deputy Chris Fox on this outstanding accomplishment and continued service to the people of Upton County.
