The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.
There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

My condolences to the family, the Houston Police Dept. and friends of Sgt. Rios,
Another honorable servant of the public has been shot and killed in the line of duty. It is so painful to hear of these tragic events.
Sgt. Rios on his way to his duty assignment encounters a situation that merits his intervention. He responds heroically taking incoming fire resulting in his death. I am so proud of Sgt. Rios and my fellow officers who are willing to put their lives in danger every day to protect their communities. May more people become aware of the need and support of the "Thin Blue Line."
May the Lord comfort all who are grieving over the loss of Sgt. Rios. He died a hero while responding to a critical incident.
