Crime Prevention Week - National Bully Prevention Month
Bullying is undoubtedly the most common form of violence in school, with millions of students bullied every year. This is also a common issue in the workplace. However, it can be hard to figure out bullying behaviors and deal with them, particularly when you are the victim. But if left occurring for an extended period, this problem would lead to many health issues, both mental and physical. Below are 10 signs of bullying that you should look out for and seek support from other people.
1. Headaches
2. Reluctance to go to school/work
3. Sudden loss of friends
4. Difficulty sleeping
5. Intense emotions
6. Avoiding interaction with others
7. Withdrawal from digital devices
8. Physical signs
9. Eating disorders
10. Lower self-esteem

Press Release
On Saturday, August 29th, President Trump, Governor Abbott, Senator Cruz, and several other Federal and State Officials visited SW Louisiana and SE Texas, following landfall of Hurricane Laura.
During this time, Orange County officials had the opportunity to show both President Trump and Governor Abbott the hardest hit areas of Orange County, utilizing one of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Drones.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office operates these drones under a COA, which is a Certificate of Authorization issued by the Federal Aviation Administration. The drones can be used for anything from surveying storm damage to locating a lost child. They’ve become a valuable asset to this agency, as well as many agencies across the United States.
Pictured here is President Donald Trump, Governor Greg Abbott, Orange County Judge John Gothia, and Sheriff’s Office Lt. Joey Jacobs.
Lt. Jacobs stated, “After landfall, we flew for search and rescue, as well damage assessment”.
These photographs were taken at the Orange County Expo Center, which is activated during natural disasters as the Emergency Operations Center for the county.

Tell us how the President was interacting and speaking to you all. Was rude and snooty? Or was he kind and caring? I think people really need to hear how he was in person. I think he would have been great. ❤
I hope they will get some funding out here to help those who need it
Go, Joey! Good job!
How exciting and what an honor..
What an Honor.
Joey!!! Heck ya! Look at you!! So proud!!
I Hope this will help get FEMA Assistance approved. Governor Abbott..
Protecting the lives of our 4 legged family members is a responsibility every pet owner shares. This is especially important during inclement weather.
For a free pamphlet provided by the American Veterinary Medical Foundation titled Saving the Whole Family, visit the front desk in the lobby of the Port Arthur Police Department.
If you have a pet it should be for life. My question is... If you leave a animal behind during a mandatory evacuation and it get loose and causes injury to a individual; what is Texas or Port Arthur laws on this?
Love this! Pet education is vital. They are not just a pet, they are family. 😻
Luckily our city did not sustain much damage from Hurricane Laura and more importantly, there was no loss of life. Most citizens heeded the warnings given by local officials and followed the mandatory evacuation to ensure their safety. Evacuations went smoothly and we appreciate the cooperation of our residents and the assistance of our partnering agencies.
We are very proud of the men and women of the Port Arthur Police Department and the extended hours devoted during this crisis. Officers, dispatchers and civilian personnel worked exhaustive hours before, during and after the hurricane in order to maintain and continue police services to the residents of our city.
We are also thankful to the linemen who responded to our area and worked tirelessly to restore our electricity and the many businesses and people who cooked or delivered food to us. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated.
Thank you Detective Jaquez! ❤️
I thought those people died from carbon monoxide poisoning in Asian town.
Thanks for all you do team PAPD and Linemen!!
Thank you all and God bless.
Valeria Perez is that Ileana!?!

Burglary Call Leads to Arrest- 4000 Block of Maida
On Sunday, September 6, 2020 at 4:37 p.m., Beaumont Police responded to an apartment in the 4000 block of Maida in reference to a burglary. The victim reported that 5 televisions were stolen from the apartment. While the Officer was taking the report, he was notified of a recent “for sale” post on Facebook Marketplace, listing 5 tvs matching the description of the ones stolen in this case. Additionally, the victim was contacted by someone who believed that they had purchased one of the stolen tvs earlier in the day. From information obtained through the investigation, it was learned that the person selling the stolen tvs, was doing so from an apartment in the same complex. A burglary unit Detective obtained a search warrant for the suspect’s apartment and he was taken into custody. The suspect was identified as Terrence Jones, a 38 year old Beaumont resident. A search of the apartment revealed the victim’s 4 other televisions. At this time, Jones was arrested and charged for Theft/possession of stolen property, pending the completion of the investigation for a possible upgraded Burglary charge.
I like these posts. First, it tells us what crime is happening near us. Secondly, it shows the hard work the department has done. Lastly, it shows us who was arrested and makes me more conscience about people around me.
😂😂😂 Only In Big Money Texas!
SAYS I DESPISE BURGLARS & YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY THE BURGLARS HAVE KILLED & MURDERED IN THEIR PAST BURGLARIES WHEN THE OWNER OWNER ARRIVES AND SURPRISES THEM

Bye Boy! Enjoy your next stint back in the Pen. 🤷♀️
Bonds set today totaling over $400,000.00 for all charges.
Bye.....again!
Any word as to whether or not this is the same person that was driving by pointing a gun in Dowlen West on Sunday?
Now throw away the key
This is EXACTLY why we dont need to take ANY guns away from law abiding citizens. Just like those illegal drugs in his car, if a felon can get a gun, all Americans should be able to legally purchase whatever gun they want. The government will never be able to keep them out of the hands of criminals.
Well he gonna be gone for w min if not life depends on what his first felony was far
A swinging door he goes yeah he goes in/out he goes in gets OUT Same person same offenses this is why the system is so screwed up my bad covid 19 worse Hello Guns areAnd he's jacked up on drugs!!!
He always had a smile on his face except for this picture. In TDC he used to tell everybody if nobody put they hands on you that you shouldn't put your hands on them. He really was a great dude. Free him for real. I'm serious too. He had my back in TDC too. He fed me before. He's innocent I know
He needs to wipe that smirk off of his face. Looks like he's proud of what he did! smh
FYI you have not been indicted yet
Just can’t fix stupid!! Jail must be a wonderful place!!
Smh told him the streets ain't what it is..smh
I heard the gunshots too
Apparently, he didn't learn a lesson.
I salute all the hardworking men and women of Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. You serve our community on the frontline everyday. Many times working long hours, tired and in risky situations. Thank you for showing up!
You are the Super Heroes and Sheroes!!
Happy Labor Day!

Stay Safe
Stay safe my brothers and sisters in blue
Please take note of the times on the school zone sign that have changed due to the new school times. Also, the traffic light at Helena Ave and N. 27th Street will be flashing red due to a defective circuit board in the traffic signal. This issue will be taken care of as soon as possible.

I honestly miss this officer! He was the people’s police officer! Rest In Peace
My condolences to the family and friends of our fallen Officer Gernale! May God bring swift justice!
Rest in Peace Conrad 🙏🙏 The suspect should/would have gotten Life imprisonment with no parole for taking a life ⚖️⚖️ just saying....
I had the honor of supervising Conrad on 3rd Watch when he was a young officer. Such an honorable and decent man, great team member, and solid cop. A great loss.
A terrible loss for our community and his family...

I remember when that happened so sad. Sending prayers to the family and friends
Such a terrible loss for his family and community.
Prayers for the Gernale family, and for my friends that were present that night, and for the perpetrator, and his family.
Rest in the peace of Christ Conrad. I will pray AGAINST your murderer and enemies connected to your death.

NEW SCAM ALERT - There is a man that is calling around to citizens telling them that they have a warrant for not showing up for Federal Court Duty.
He is identifying himself as Chief Deputy Fowler of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. He will give various phone numbers with a recorded message saying "You have reached the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office". There is no one here by that name!
He is trying to scam people into disposing of their warrant by sending him money on a cash app.
NO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY will try to contact you to take care of a warrant by requesting that you send money via a cash app, a green dot card or any other card or app for that matter.
If you have been a victim of this scam and actually sent funds, please report it to your local law enforcement agency.
PLEASE share this post to help spread the word! #OneCountyOneCommunity
Tanks 👍🏼
Don't worry if I get this call, I will invite him to come serve the warrant himself and then you can come recover the body.
The devil never sleeps! Don’t people have better things to do then scam money from hard working people and senior citizens! Geez!

News Release
News Release from Chief Rod Carroll
Subject: Narcotic Arrest
Date: September 4, 2020
On Friday, September 4th, 2020 around 12:15 AM, Officers with the Vidor Police Department conducted a traffic stop on a Black 2002 GMC Yukon for traffic violations in the 2300 Block of North Main.
During the encounter, the driver of the Yukon was identified as, TROY WILSON HEBERT. When the Driver’s driving status was checked through the State system, he showed to have several warrants out for his arrest. One of which was out of Austin Pardon and Parole for Felony Possession of Controlled Substance.
During a probable cause search of the vehicle, a plastic Ziplock baggy was found which contained a large amount of a crystal-like substance. A presumptive field test of the crystal substance tested positive for containing Methamphetamine. A second smaller plastic baggie was also found, and it too contained a crystal-like substance also believed to Methamphetamine. The total combined weight of Methamphetamine in both baggies was approx. 42.5 grams.
Arrested was:
Troy Wilson Hebert Age: 57 Hometown: Broaddus, Texas
Charges:
• Parole Warrant
• Possession of Controlled Substance (4g < 199g) 2nd Degree Felony
( Punishable by confinement 2- 20 years and up to a $10,000 fine)
Pray that his arrest will be the stimulus for him to get off drugs and this bad life style. Pray that our police will see the importance of staying close to God . Prayers for those afflicted with drug dependence
Good job that even this amount was not passed on. Pray this person has the will and strength to get help. Bad stuff.
Now if the DA will just keep them in jail and not release them again in a few days that would be awesome. Our city needs to be cleaned up.
Good job VPD!! Trying to keep the streets clean 🚓🙏🏻💙💙
