PROTECTS THEIRS.

The 4 Devastating Words the Families and Dependents of Galveston
County Peace Officers Never Want to Hear

When an officer is hurt or killed in the line of duty, who’s there to look after their dependents?

Spouses, children, and others fear the day they get the call telling them that the peace officer
in their family has been injured or worse.

“Shots Fired! Officer Down!”

These are the four words no one wants to hear. But when a family’s fear suddenly becomes a
reality, the 50 Club of Galveston County steps in to help.

Helping Injured Peace Officers and Their Families

Deputy Garvin was struck by an intoxicated driver while directing traffic. He suffered severe leg injuries that required numerous surgeries and a lengthy hospital stay.

The 50 Club of Galveston County was there to help:

“I want to thank the 50 Club for coming out and assisting him. He was self-employed. His business practically went under while he was trying to rehab and come back. It took over a year for him to be able to walk without crutches and assistance. He had some pretty bad damage to his legs and several operations, and the 50 Club assisted him greatly. And we want to thank you for that.”

— Sheriff Henry Trochesset, Galveston County

Another officer was injured after being dragged 30 yards by an intoxicated driver in a stolen vehicle. He was off duty for six weeks while recuperating in the hospital.

The 50 Club of Galveston County stepped in with the financial support his family needed:

“He’d gone to hospital, got released, and he was off for six weeks. The 50 Club immediately stepped in within a matter of days and handed him a check. And this guy worked an extra job every week. The 50 Club stepped up and made that difference for him. He was a very happy and thankful individual.”

—Chief Ron Morales, Dickinson Police Department

Many of the peace officers serving Galveston County work extra jobs.
Being injured or killed while on duty robs their families of the financial
security they depend on every day.
