The Highland Village Business Association held their quarterly lunch on Tuesday. Johnnie Yellock II, Staff Sergeant (Retired), shared an inspiring message of making each day count and serving with a purpose. His life experience serving in Afghanistan and his desire to continue to serve others over himself shape the testimony he shared with the nearly 60 in attendance. 

The TXFallenPD Tribute Event committee met on Thursday to continue planning the event which will take place on October 20 this year. Chief Reim attended and shared with the group the presentation that was made at the Texas Police Chiefs Association conference last week in Galveston. Area departments that held fundraisers for the Fallen Officers Fund presented their checks to the Association during a Prayer Breakfast. 

We had the opportunity to see the benefit of the public safety improvements we completed last year. At Tuesday’s Council meeting we presented Life Saving Awards to emergency personnel for two different calls. In both cases the resident had gone into cardiac arrest.
