Sheriff Elmer Tanner recently attended the Sheriff's Association of Texas 140th Annual Training Conference at the Gaylord Texan Resort Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, July 21 - 24,2018. Over 1,500 were in attendance. There were over 240 exhibits at the Expo where attendees could get familiar with the latest technology and products offered to the Law Enforcement and Corrections Community.
The first Sheriffs' Association of Texas Conference was held in Corsicana in 1878. Held annually in various cities across the state, this event allows Sheriffs, Deputies, Federal, State, and City Law Enforcement Officers to network and discuss different issues that affect law enforcement across the state and nation. This year, participants received training on a variety of topics including: State Agency Updates; Mental Health Issues in Jails; Court Security; Texas Public Safety Broadband Program; Leadership; Current Civil Process Issues; Behavioral Red Flag of Church, School, Workplace Shooters; Public Safety First Response to Active Shooter/Mass Casualty Incidents and more.
Through the support of their members, Sheriff's Association of Texas provides training, legal/technical information, and other critical resources to Peace Officers in Texas. The Sheriff's Association of Texas also offers college scholarships to Peace Officers and their children who wish to continue their education. In addition, they honor Fallen Officers with their Lost Lawman Memorial.

The NCSO will be observing National Correctional Officers Week -May 7th-13th, 2018
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5187, creating "National Correctional Officers' Week." Each year, the first full week in May is recognized as National Correctional Officers and Employees Week, commemorating the contributions of correctional officers and personnel who work in jails, prisons, and community corrections across the country.
The services provided by the dedicated and hard working men and women of corrections are vital to every community.
I would also like to thank and recognize the families of these correctional officers as well. These men and women are also husbands, wives, mothers and fathers and often have to miss school activities, holidays, weekends and other activities with their families because of the job.
Would you please join me in thanking our Navarro County Sheriffs Office correctional officers for their dedication and commitment to our community.
I very much appreciate each and every one of you and the service that you provide daily.

Our Deputies wear many hats. Today's duties would have warranted a cowboy hat as we worked the cattle at our county farm. Making sure all were wormed, tagged and vaccinated.
Absolutely beautiful day to get it accomplished and we got 'er done.

Each year, the second full week of April is recognized as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Our telcommunicators or "dispatchers" are an invaluable part of our emergency response system here at the Navarro County Sheriff's Office. Our telecommunicators assist callers with emergency and non-emergency situations, while providing critical information to law enforcement, firefighters and medical personnel as they respond. This week provides an opportunity to honor these courageous professionals for their vital contribution to public safety. Our telecommunicators serve the community by helping citizens in need every day. If you've ever been the victim of a crime, had a vehicle collision, reported a fire, or needed emergency medical help, it is likely that you called 911 and received help from a "dispatcher" on the other end of the line. While not always recognized, the critical role that these telecommunicators play in keeping the public and first responders safe is essential. Please join me by thanking a telecommunicator this week for their professionalism and dedication to duty.

Your service and dedication is still appreciated today.

Today we completed our annual active shooter school at the old TYC facility classroom in Corsicana. Each year, since I became Sheriff, we have sponsored and held an active shooter class that is mandatory for NCSO enforcement personnel.
The active shooter class is conducted over a three day period and is offered at no cost to all other law enforcement agencies in Navarro County. The active shooter class is comprised of both classroom and intensive scenario based training on active shooter situations.
I want to thank our lead instructor Captain Jeremy Phillips, NCSO officers who assisted with instruction of the class, our personnel who attended and the other agencies who sent their personnel to attend this important training.

I was not only very honored being invited but thoroughly enjoyed getting to read to the 4th grade boys and girls at Navarro Elementary this morning. It was a nice change to not only get to read to but to come see and visit with the all kids. Being a 5/country boy myself I can resonate with the story and hope the kids realized it pertains to them in many ways as well.
Thank you Mrs. Tanya Linex for inviting me and to all the 4th grade classes who were very welcoming, polite and displayed awesome behavior.
