BRAZOS CO. SHERIFF HONORED

  
Brazos Co. Sheriff Chris Kirk

The Brazos County Sheriff has been honored.

Sheriff Chris Kirk was awarded the Tom Tellepsen Award at the Sheriffs' Association of Texas 140th Annual Conference.

The Tellepsen Award criterion includes the recognition of outstanding contributions to the advancement of law enforcement and criminal justice and honors more than ability and performance.

The recipient, who must possess these qualities, must additionally have demonstrated the human element and a genuine love of the profession.

According to the Brazos County Sheriff's Office, the announcement came as a surprise to Sheriff Kirk, who was one of the 191 sheriffs and approximately 650 participants attending the conference.

The Tellepsen Foundation, which was created to honor his lifelong support of law enforcement, provides this award. The Foundation trustees unanimously approved the initial establishment of this award in 1975. The Award was presented by Karen Tellepsen, the granddaughter of Tom Tellepsen.
