Governor Greg Abbott attended a ceremony hosted by the Coastal Bend Peace Officers Association (CBPOA) and Operation Lone Star Taskforce to recognize Live Oak County Sheriff Larry Busby for his 44 years of service. The event highlighted the work of law enforcement at all levels in Texas.
“Law enforcement officers at the local, state, and federal level do everything in their power to keep our state safe and enforce law and order,” Governor Abbott said. “I thank our law enforcement officers — and especially Sheriff Busby — for their work to protect Texans. Tools and strategies have changed over the years; what has not changed is Sheriff Busby’s commitment to protect the people he serves. I thank him for his 44 years of service to our great state.”
Governor Abbott used his remarks to emphasize the importance of those who serve in uniform and their role in maintaining public safety across Texas. He also spoke about initiatives like Operation Lone Star that aim to improve security for Texans, noting successes from these efforts.
The ceremony included participation from other officials such as CBPOA Second Vice President and Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd, along with various law enforcement representatives.
Photos from the event are expected to be released later.
