Notice the title asks who DO you trust not who shouldyou trust.
As law enforcement officers we consciously strive to earn the trust of

in arms, those with whom we share so much of our working lives and secondly we seek the undisputeded trust
of those citizens whom we serve.
This morning a veteran Houston Police Officer was shot in the face and seriously wounded while executing a narcotics search warrant. His assailant was fatally wounded by return fire from officers. Also this morning, a veteran Houston Police Officer took his own life. I have no further details of this event.
Please pray for the wounded officer's recovery and for the welfare of his family. also pray for the family of the officer who took his own life and for all the officers on HPD and the surrounding agencies.
God knows just how they feel. He lost His son in an effort to save us all.

It has been several months since I last emailed you. I
apologize for this, but I have been very busy the last couple of months. My
