It has come to our attention that a member of the TCSOA posted offensive material on a personal social media page. Whether intended in seriousness or jest, hateful, inflammatory language is never ok. As the first African-American female President of the Travis County Sheriffs Officers’ Association, I speak on behalf of a large group of dedicated public servants who are sensitive and mindful of the power of language. We care deeply about keeping lines of communication open with all citizens of Travis County. TCSOA and its members are against violence in any form, whether it be against an officer or a resident in the community. We are committed to holding ourselves accountable when a wrong has been done and are dealing with this matter appropriately.

Charley Wilkison, Executive Director of CLEAT: “Officers should be seeking to continue to build trust in the communities where they work, not create more unnecessary distrust and division.”
