Texas hospitality!

🇸🇪 WHEN SWEDEN MEETS SOUTH TEXAS 🤠

This afternoon on I-37, Deputy Chief Eric Kaiser responded to a minor accident involving five guys from Sweden — and found a Swedish flag flying proud off the back of their rental motorhome on the side of the highway.

It's World Cup time, and it turns out these five Swedes flew into Dallas, picked up an RV, and have been chasing their national team across North America — already caught a match in Monterrey, Mexico, with stops in Houston and Los Angeles still ahead. Talk about dedication to your nation's team!

Good news: everybody was okay. Texas DPS Troopers and our Deputy Chief made sure they were safe and squared away before they got back on the road.

They told us that back home, Texas and our Deputy Sheriff's are something they'd only seen in the movies...they didn't expect to find the genuine article out here in Atascosa County.

We showed them some real South Texas hospitality, and they even wanted a photo for the journal of their American road trip.

Safe travels, fellas! While we'll be cheering for Team USA, we'll give a wink and a nod to Sweden winning a few games along the way. 💙💛

Whether you’re a resident, a deputy, firefighter or paramedic—we all call Dispatch / 911 when we need help. This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. One week is hardly enough to honor them so let’s all work hard to ensure these heroes behind the scenes know they’re appreciated. They are the TRUE First Responder. We salute them all.
