TCSO History Part 2: 1856 – 1870 ? Did you know that over a 14-year period, we had 10 different sheriffs in office? This was mostly due to Reconstruction and?the military occupation of Fort Worth.

Members of the Leadership North Tarrant program operated by the North Tarrant Chamber of Commerce visited the Tarrant County Jail to learn about the various aspects of operating the TCJ. Participants in this program, including government and private sector leaders, toured the facility, spoke with Detention staff and met Sheriff Waybourn who hosted a Q&A session.

Tarrant County is under a "very high" risk of wildfires this week due to extremely dry conditions and increased winds across the state. Fire moves faster than you think and can take less than thirty seconds?to burn out of control. ? The Tarrant County Fire Marshal’s Office reminds anyone planning to conduct an outside burn must observe the following requirements: ? ?? Contact the Tarrant County Fire Alarm Center at?817-232-9800?on the day you plan to burn to register your address ?? No burning if wind speeds (either constant or gusts) are greater than 23 mph. ?? Begin burning no earlier than one hour after sunrise and no later than one hour before sunset. ?? The burn must be downwind and at least 300 feet from structures on adjacent properties. ?? Only burn brush, tree limbs, grass clippings or leaves. The material MUST be generated from the property. ?? To report someone illegally burning outdoors, call the Tarrant County Fire Alarm Center at?817-232-9800?or the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office at?817-884-1315.

Way to go TCSO! Our patrol division was very successful last month with 27 DWI arrests. ? If you drink and drive, you will be caught. Stay safe, plan ahead, and find a sober ride. #endthestreak #DWnotI #TCSO #sheriffsdepartment #tarrantcounty
