Greetings from Austin! As the summer months pass and we enter into the spookiest month of October, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of the crime stoppers programs of Texas for all the work you do every day to keep our communities safe. In the past year, I look back at all of the accomplishments, I am so proud to call myself a Texas Crime Stopper!

I look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts and working together to improve Texas’ crime prevention. I can’t wait to see you at the next training!
