Officers patrolled alongside other agencies helping stranded motorists and assisted with search and rescue operations. In addition, officers conducted traffic management operations, damage assessments and reconnaissance, and provided security at shelters. Officers reported they were grateful for the opportunity to serve other communities and help fellow law enforcement officers from other agencies. Some officers slept in racquetball courts at Sam Houston State University and hours worked were long and challenging. Each of the officers involved in this volunteer assignment performed in an exemplary manner and carried out the department’s motto, “Service Before Self, Honor Above All.” Arlington, Texas Police Department 33
