We will honor South Texas law enforcement — from patrol to SWAT, narcotics, K-9, investigations, command staff and agency leaders — in the fight against violent crime. Through candid conversations, real-world insights, and frontline stories, we aim to honor the men and women who protect our communities and provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the challenges and victories in the fight against crime.
