Today, our department was honored to be recognized and presented with the TPCA - Texas Police Chiefs Association Accreditation Award by Chief Robert Crawford of Northlake Police Department at the Public Safety Recognition Event. This achievement reflects the hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence demonstrated daily by our personnel. We strive to be the best.
We were especially proud to share this day with the Sansom Park Fire Department, all of their remarkable achievements, and celebrate public safety together. The event also showcased the outstanding capabilities of our team, including an impressive K9 demonstration by K9 Hans and Lt. Hagin, and a drone demonstration by Crime Analyst Moralez, both of which highlighted the professionalism and skill within our department.
While today was a day of recognition and pride, it was also a moment to honor one of our own. After nearly five years of dedicated service, Chief Burchfield has made the decision to move on from our department. We are deeply grateful for his leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment. Under his guidance, our department has grown exponentially, reaching milestones that will have a lasting impact.
Chief Burchfield’s leadership will always be a core memory in our department’s history, and his presence will be greatly missed. We thank him for his service and wish him continued success in his next chapter. May God bless you, Chief Burchfield, and keep you as you move forward. Thank you for answering the call to lead, serve, and strengthen this department.
