HCSO Newsletter #43 | The Ultimate Sacrifice
Message from Sheriff Ed Gonzalez:

My heart breaks for the families and friends of Houston Police Department Sgt. Christopher Brewster and Nassau Bay Police Sgt. Kaila Sullivan. I pray that everyone affected by their passing finds peace. I thank all of their brothers and sisters in blue involved in apprehending the suspected killers so the families may feel justice has been served.

To my teammates, two officers killed in the line of duty in one week is unfathomable. We all know the dangers of this profession, but that does not mean we have to dismiss the emotions that we are feeling right now. Despite facing the constant threat of the unthinkable, all of you continue to report to work and serve your community. Our dedicated service is a tribute to our fallen brothers and sisters in blue. We will not let evil win. Know that I am thankful for your service to Harris County and I continue to pray for your safety. Below, you will see that no matter the circumstances, our job is never done, and we will always press forward to reach out to our community, and address other systemic issues that plague our county.

God bless all of you, and God bless the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
