Rep. Edwards Honored by Texas Police Chief's Association for Legislative Leadership



On Tuesday, February 9th, Rep. Al Edwards received a coveted award in Houston from the Texas Police Chief's Association.


The award for "Outstanding Contributions to Law Enforcement during the 81st Legislative Session" was based on Edwards legislative commitment and achievement in passing legislation, HB 2153, during the recent session. His bill, HB 2153, now protects the community against sex offenders who try to game the system and claim they are homeless (so police can't keep track of their location) by requiring them to physically check-in every 30 days to law enforcement and tell their whereabouts.


The award was presented at the well-attended Baptist Ministers Association of Houston weekly meeting at Mt. Hebron Baptist Church. Members of the Houston Police Department and the Texas Police Chief's Association members of surrounding areas were on hand to present the award. Rep. Edwards expressed his appreciation for the honor of being chosen as a recipient of the award and stressed that he would continue to work with law enforcement on sensible efforts to reduce crime and on getting more officers on the street to protect the community.
