LIFE OF SERVICE
Congrats to Senior Corporal Gary Price for reaching his retirement milestone! Gary is a friend and servant leader who will be missed greatly. After retiring with 20+ years in the Army, he served four years at the Lee County Sheriff's Office before transitioning to us. At TPD he gave over 20 years and he has served in all three districts, Quad, DLIS, air service, homicide, and recently as a patrol corporal in D1.
Thanks you Senior Corporal! You will will be missed!
Tonight is bittersweet with the reveal of Jesse Madsen's Memorial. Beautiful memorial with a lot of thought, heart and soul put into it. Also a lot of metal. Taking A Stance exactly was Jesse was all about that night and always. Thank you to all those that made this happen especially Steve Rogai and Dominique Martinez for making the magic happen. Very emotional but well worth it!
