Our top priority remains the safety and security of our community, and we are fully prepared to respond to any public safety concerns swiftly and professionally. We respect and support the constitutional right to peaceful protest. Lawful assembly and the free expression of ideas are foundational rights we all share. To those planning to attend, we ask that you exercise those rights responsibly, with respect for one another and for our community. Our deputies are committed to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to peacefully express their views while maintaining order and safety. We are not here to silence voices, we are here to protect lives, property, and the peace of our county. Let it be known: We are confident in the strength and unity of Montgomery County, and we will not allow disorder or criminal activity to disrupt that. “As your Sheriff, I will always stand for law and order and defend the people and property of Montgomery County. We support the right to peaceful protest, but we will not tolerate violence, chaos, or threats to public safety. Our deputies stand ready to protect this community with strength, resolve, and zero hesitation. I want to thank Governor Abbott for his steadfast commitment to law and order in Texas.
