La Porte Police Department wins Texas accreditation; officers, EMS staff honored for service
Summary
The La Porte Police Department received a Texas Law Enforcement Best Practices Accreditation certificate (reaccredited since 2009) covering Jan 2026 through Jan 2030; Chief Steve Bullock credited staff and lieutenant Brian Bosnango for leading the process. The council also recognized multiple employees for milestone years of service.
The council recognized the La Porte Police Department for reaccreditation under the Texas Law Enforcement Best Practices Accreditation Program. A region 14 representative of the Texas Police Chiefs Association presented the certificate and read the effective period; Chief Steve Bullock thanked predecessors and staff members who prepared the agency for reaccreditation, and he singled out lieutenant Brian Bosnango. "When you go up for reaccreditation...we had 0 audits on all of our best practices, which is very rare," Chief Bullock said, noting the lengthy on-site review process.
Council also recognized employees for milestone service: Christopher Nelson (patrol officer) for 10 years; Sergeants Mark Rosenovac and Matt Davidson for 15 years each (noted as not present); and Stephanie Meekins, an EMS lieutenant, for 10 years of service with a background as a paramedic, CPR instructor and car-seat technician. Colleagues praised Meekins' work instructing car-seat safety and training staff. The mayor and council extended congratulations to the department and the award recipients.
