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.
