Larry Fowler — Parker County Sheriff
Parker County’s longest-serving sheriff, Larry was born and
raised in Parker County. His law enforcement career began
at the Weatherford Police Department where he rose through
the ranks before receiving an appointment as a Deputy US
Marshal. After enjoying an exciting and distinguished career,
Larry returned to Parker County where he served as Chief
Deputy Sheriff and as an investigator for the District Attorney’s
Office. He took office as sheriff in 2005 and has earned
numerous awards for his innovative and proactive work.
What he most loves about his job is, “…serving the citizens of
Parker County. This is my hometown. It’s where I was born.
Serving the residents of my own community means the world
to me,” Larry said. Something few people know about Larry
is that during his tenure as a deputy with the US Marshal’s
Service he traveled extensively. “I was able to work alongside
our nation’s top officers in the largest metropolitan areas, gain-
ing invaluable law enforcement experience,” he said.
Accomplishments he’s most proud of as sheriff? “I’m very
happy with the overall operations of the sheriff’s office,” Larry
said. “The changes and expansions we have made to each
division in the sheriff’s office since I initially began serving
as sheriff have been very rewarding. I’m especially proud of
the Special Crimes Unit and our training division. We created
the training division to lower the costs of tax dollars and keep
our deputies and investigators up-to-date with state-mandated
training. Since 2009, the amount of personnel sent out of the
county to receive their training is greatly reduced. This saves
funding by foregoing hotels, per diem and course costs.
We also generate revenue by accepting officers from
outside agencies to attend our training courses taught
by certified instructors. We created our Special Crimes
Unit with our top investigators focusing on drug traf-
ficking and crimes specific within our county. During
the first two years of inception, our Special Crimes Unit
made more than 500 arrests and took more than $2.5
million of illegal drugs off the streets of Parker County.”
Their success continues today. That’s something to
boast about.
