Kudos to Abilene PD CLEAT member Officer Watkins for taking the time to ensure this child was safe, comfortable, and cared for while first responders handled the scene. It’s acts of kindness and care like this that speak volumes about the humans and the heart behind every badge. 💙

This morning, while working a traffic accident, Officer Watkins took a moment to make sure this little one was safe, comfortable, and hydrated. ❤️

It's a simple reminder that every vehicle on the road is carrying someone's family. It could be a parent, a grandparent, a friend... or someone's precious child.

Slow down. Put the distractions away. Be patient with one another. The few seconds you save aren't worth risking a life.

Safe Streets Start With YOU.

With assistance from CLEAT Field Rep Carlos Zamorano, members of the Kingsville Law Enforcement Association voted to ratify a proposed one-year contract that includes a 4.5% pay increase for non-ranked officers and a 3% increase for ranked personnel. The agreement now moves to the City for final approval. 👏
