Today our SWAT team, supported by our Crisis Negotiations Unit and patrol division, responded to a critical incident in Rice. The tactical operation ended with the successful apprehension of one suspect who is now in custody.

We would like to thank Rice PD, Texas DPS, Ellis County Sheriff's Office and Ellis County Pct 1 Constables Office for their assistance. Due to the combined efforts of these law enforcement agencies, a potentially dangerous situation was successfully resolved.
