I just finished writing a thank you note to the Chief for the fine service we have experienced from the Houston PD. Great, professional, friendly, courteous servants. I know one thing. Great officers are the product of great leadership. I am thankful for all the fine officers who serve and protect across our country.
I am thankful there was more to this story than we knew.
