Arcola recognizes Chief Carr; police list equipment, cameras and accreditation work
Summary
Mayor Mary Williams presented a proclamation recognizing Chief Carr; the chief described recent equipment grants, citywide cameras and steps toward accreditation to support policing and community trust.
Mayor Mary Williams highlighted Chief Carr’s recognition this summer and asked the chief to address the audience. Williams said Chief Carr received a Fort Bend County proclamation and was nominated for a U.S. Attorney’s Award for her work on a notable case.
