A pioneer. A mentor. A friend.

Today we broke ground on something that will strengthen public safety across our region for years to come.
The new @HCSOTexas Regional Swift Water Training Facility will give our first responders a dedicated place to train for the dangerous and unpredictable conditions they may face during floods, severe weather, and water rescues.
For years, our personnel have had to travel elsewhere for this specialized training. Bringing this capability home means more opportunities to train, stronger regional partnerships, and better preparation when every second counts.
This is more than a new facility—it’s an investment in readiness, our first responders, and the safety of the communities we serve.
Proud to see this important project officially underway! 🚧🌊

Today, members of USA-01, working alongside local firefighters, rescued a mother & her nine-month-old baby from a collapsed structure. Both were found alive with only minor injuries, brought to safety to the cheers of neighbors.
This is our why: the delivery of hope.

Members of the Texas Game Warden Search & Rescue Team rescued two people from the roofs of their cars in Milam County last night. They had driven through flood waters & were washed off the roadway and downstream before coming to a stop against a fence.
Turn around, don’t drown.

Today, we mourn retired HCFMO K9 Delta.
For nine years, Delta faithfully served Harris County alongside his handler and partner, Sgt. Tessier, responding to fire scenes, assisting investigations, training, and supporting community outreach.
Your legacy will never be forgotten.

The Texas Task Force Operational Exercise 2026 was a huge success!
The large-scale joint training simulated hurricane and tornado damage, catastrophic flooding and hazardous materials incidents, pushing teams to work together in fast-changing and complex conditions.
Exercises likes these help keep teams sharp and prepared to respond quickly when Texans need them most.

Being a Bomb Tech takes a rare mindset: calm under pressure, methodical in chaos, and committed to protecting others at any cost. It’s not just a specialty, it’s a calling. Respect to those who stepped up to test for one of the most demanding roles in public safety. @HCSOTexas
