I had the honor of meeting Lance several years ago while conducting training with the Hood County Sheriff's Office and Granbury Police Dept. Lance was the consummate professional and his love for his job and teammates was quite obvious. Our police family lost a great protector and great man. May God wrap his arms around everyone affected by this event and give them the strength to carry on Lance's will.
