EST. 1953 ® Starting
EST. 1953 ® Starting January 1, 2021, Deputy Jacob Hayden began his first full year as a solo deputy. As a member of the Precinct 5 Patrol Team, he quickly was noticed for his outstanding work ethic and possessing skills beyond the expectations of someone his training and experience. He has made himself a vital member of his agency and the community he serves. He is also part of the Precinct 5 Special Response Team, assisting in multiple search warrants and call outs. He located and cleared 102 active fugitive warrants within the Precinct 5 area and completed 129 hours of Texas Commission of Law Enforcement (TCOLE) training in addition to everything else he accomplished in his rookie year as a law enforcement officer. His performance in 2021 has been that of a seasoned deputy and has shown that he has a bright future in law enforcement. In addition,the work ethic and achievements that were made during 2021 by Deputy Hayden have also brought great recognition to his agency. On February 25, 2021, Sergeant Gabriel Alvarez organized a rescue crew of officers to rescue other officers who were being fired at by a suspect at an apartment complex. The suspect was firing at the officers out of an apartment window. Sergeant Alvarez commanded an armored personnel carrier (APC) to rescue the trapped officers. He rallied his people together, came up with a quick reaction plan and went with his men into the line of fire. Upon seeing two officers in harm’s way and despite seeing a suspect actively shooting at these officers, he opened the APC’s door, exposing himself to the line of fire to get the attention of the trapped officers and ushered them to safety. Sergeant Alvarez distinguished himself with valor during this incident and saved fellow officers’ lives at the risk of his own which made the difference in resolving a live shooter incident.
