ORN Police Chief’s Plan for Supporting Border Patrol

August 6, 2014 by ORNEDC

Oak Ridge North’s Chief of Police Andy Walters has a plan for providing additional officers to support the over-stretched resources of the Border Patrol and local law enforcement in Texas’ border cities and counties and the plan is getting statewide attention.

Walters, who grew up in El Paso and is familiar with border issues, has for several years sent officers from the Oak Ridge North Police Department to work with local jurisdictions near the Texas-Mexico border.  The benefit to these jurisdictions is “more boots on the ground” to deal with the crime that crosses the border in the form of drug cartels and gangs.  The benefit to the Oak Ridge North PD is better trained officers, because drugs and gangs are not isolated problems.
