Fort Bend County Jail

The following item is an article that was published online by yoursugarlandnews.com on February 2, 2012. It provides good information about an effort over the last two years to build a Fort Bend County team of law enforcement officers capable of responding to high-risk situations. It is important to note that the “Fort Bend County team” is a multi-agency collaborative effort involving the cities of Missouri City, Rosenberg, Stafford, Sugar Land and the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office. Danny Jan, Captain in the Sheriff’s Office, has been integral part in facilitating meetings and getting all the agencies to come together to form the team. The Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management has played a key role in the development of the grant applications required to fund the team’s formation.

The article below provides more information about the team and the new vehicle it has just recently received:
