Extra deputies on the streets this holiday season
Travis County Sheriff's Office will have extra deputies on the streets this holiday season in an effort to target drunk drivers.
TCSO received a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation, which allows the office to put more deputies on the streets from Dec. 15-31, 2017. In order to bring awareness to drinking and driving, the sheriff's office will release a video every week telling officer's stories from the field.
