July Informational Meeting followup

One of our best attended Informational Meetings so far, with a full house and some of us standing in the hallway.  Sergeant Miller spoke on the presence, dangers and Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office reduction efforts of the Fentanyl epidemic sweeping our County, State and Nation, and answered several questions at the end.  The biggest take away is being aware of the symptoms:

  • slow, shallow breathing or respiratory distress
  • slurred speech
  • loss of consciousness

These can quickly become serious health problems, resulting in permanent injury or death. The next biggest is knowing what forms Fentanyl is typically trafficked:

  • pills
  • powder
  • liquid

Don’t take chances and certainly DO NOT TOUCH anything suspicious, such as small plastic baggies with unknown pills, powder or other substances.  It could contain products that, in the smallest quantities could cause you or others irreparable harm or death. If you see or find anything suspicious, or encounter someone who might need medical assistance Call 911 immediately.   If you have any questions or would like further details, please call Bastrop County Sheriffs Office .

Since he’s been in office, he has worked hard to strengthen our border, while working towards immigration policies that benefit the American people.

Former President Trump Injured

There is no doubt everyone has heard of the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania this afternoon. The former President was injured, dropped out of the line of fire, but then stood defiantly with blood streaming across his face as he was escorted safely from the stage.  Sadly this action did take the life of one woman and others present were injured.  We send our heart felt prayers to the Former President and to the families of those lost and injured. May God Bless Donald Trump and the American People.
