Sheriff Mark Reynolds reiterated what heâs long said about Comal County support for justice operations, which county commissioners recognized in proclamations again on Thursday.
Commissioners designated May 9-15 as National Police Week and Saturday as National Peace Officers Memorial Day in the county in a proclamation calling âupon all residents to honor those peace officers who, through their courageous deeds, have lost their lives or have become disabled in the performance of duty.â
Reynolds and CCSO staffers and deputies joined constables in accepting the proclamation.
âCounty residents show their appreciation almost every day,â Reynolds said. âI canât tell you how many times weâre thanked while weâre out working and even at lunch, when the bill comes and you find out someone has taken care of it.Â
County commissioners often tout the importance of law enforcement, especially Comal County Sheriffâs Office personnel who patrol our streets and serve inside the county jail.
Last week, they issued a proclamation designating May 2-8 as National Correctional Officers and Employees Week. On Thursday, they will recognize National Police Week and light up the Courthouse bell tower in blue on Friday to commemorate National Peace Officers Memorial Day, honoring those who were injured or lost their lives in the line of duty.
Last week, corrections officers received a proclamation for their hard work.
âThe jailers who work for the county are second to none â the knowledge these men and women possess Iâll put up against any in the state of Texas,â said Maj. Bill Jennings, Comal County Jail administrator, who was joined by more than dozen staffers and licensed correctional officers serving inside the countyâs new 582-bed facility.
