MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE TOM GREEN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (2023)

No matter how you celebrate the holidays, we hope it centers around sharing time, gifts, food, and love with family, friends, and coworkers.

I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and express my gratitude to our outstanding staff for everything they do for our office and community. I want to thank all our deputies and civilian staff for their dedication and encourage you to do the same when you see them.

We are all very thankful for their hard work and commitment to our office and community throughout the year, not just around the holidays. I believe it is essential to show our appreciation to those who have been vital to our organization's success.

I would also like to thank our community for all they have done to make our area a safer place to live and raise a family.

If you plan to be away from home this holiday season, please use caution when traveling. The following are good reminders as you prepare to travel:

• Always wear a seat belt.
• Do not drink and drive.
• Do not use cell phones or other devices while driving.
• Know local traffic laws before you get behind the wheel.
• If traveling with children, use the appropriate car and booster seats.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
