Governor Abbott honors Live Oak County sheriff for 44 years of service

Texas – Governor Greg Abbott joined the Coastal Bend Peace Officers Association and the Operation Lone Star Taskforce to recognize Live Oak County Sheriff Larry Busby for 44 years of dedicated service to law enforcement in Texas.

“Law enforcement officers at the local, state, and federal level do everything in their power to keep our state safe and enforce law and order,” Governor Abbott said.

“I thank our law enforcement officers — and especially Sheriff Busby — for their work to protect Texans.

Tools and strategies have changed over the years; what has not changed is Sheriff Busby’s commitment to protect the people he serves.”

During his remarks, Governor Abbott emphasized the crucial role law enforcement officers play in upholding safety across the state and highlighted the success of Operation Lone Star and other public safety initiatives.

He reaffirmed his continued support for officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect their communities.

The event was attended by Sheriff Busby, CBPOA Second Vice President and Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd, and other law enforcement officials from across the region.
