Public Safety Commission honors Texans for service and bravery at first meeting of the year

Waco, TX – The Public Safety Commission (PSC), along with Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Colonel Freeman F. Martin, recognized several Texans for their service and bravery during the first PSC meeting of the year at DPS Headquarters in Austin.

PSC Commissioners and Colonel Martin presented two William P. Clements Excellence Awards, two Director’s Citations, two Director’s Awards, and seven Lifesaving Awards to individuals who demonstrated exceptional dedication and heroism.

Colonel Martin acknowledged the honorees for their commitment to public safety. “Today, we proudly recognize the dedication and bravery of some of the heroes who call Texas home,” he said.

“Their character, selflessness, and unwavering sense of duty represent the best of our state and this department—it’s an honor to thank them for what they’ve done.”

The awards highlighted acts of courage and outstanding contributions to public safety.
