Sheriff: National Telecommunicators Week, Deputies of the Quarter

This interview was conducted at the Henderson County Justice Center on Wednesday, April 14.

Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse started this week's podcast by announcing that the Sheriff's Office Facebook Page is currently locked out. This can occasionally happen on Facebook.

Hillhouse has reached out to Facebook, but until the page is unlocked the Sheriff will be posting on the Henderson County Texas page.

Other topics we covered in this week's podcast included:

-- April 11-17 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (4:02): "I just want to take this time to tell our dispatchers thank you for the job they do," Hillhouse said. "They are always behind the scenes. They are the backbone of this department."

-- Officers of the Quarter (7:52): Sgt. Patrick Johnson was named Deputy of the Quarter. Sgt. AshLee Mills was named Communications Officer of the Quarter. Detention Service Officer Willie Mitchell was named Detention Officer of the Quarter.

-- Promotions (9:46): Sgt. Thomas Goodell was named Pct. 1 Constable to fill the seat left vacant with the passing of Kay Langford in January. That move created a cascade of openings and promotions in the Sheriff's Office and Hillhouse details each one. We also talk about the importance of cross training in the Sheriff's Office.

-- First Responders PRCA Rodeo (15:25): The First Responders PRCA Rodeo will be at the Fair Park Complex on April 23 and 24. Hillhouse said the number of contestants are way up and everything is on track for a great event. You can learn more about this rodeo on their Facebook page.
