Governor Greg Abbott attended a ceremony with the Coastal Bend Peace Officers Association (CBPOA) and Operation Lone Star Taskforce to recognize Live Oak County Sheriff Larry Busby for his 44 years of service.
“Law enforcement officers at the local, state, and federal level do everything in their power to keep our state safe and enforce law and order,” said Governor Abbott. “I thank our law enforcement officers — and especially Sheriff Busby — for their work to protect Texans. Tools and strategies have changed over the years; what has not changed is Sheriff Busby’s commitment to protect the people he serves. I thank him for his 44 years of service to our great state.”
Governor Abbott spoke about the role of law enforcement in maintaining public safety in Texas. He referenced the impact of Operation Lone Star and other initiatives aimed at protecting communities across the state. The Governor also expressed gratitude toward those who serve as first responders, emphasizing his continued support for law enforcement personnel.
The event included participation from CBPOA Second Vice President and Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd, along with other officials from various law enforcement agencies.
Additional photos from the ceremony are expected to be made available at a later date.
