Rowe appointed to statewide board

It was announced through the Cass County Connect newsletter that Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe was recently appointed to serve on the statewide board for the Sheriff’s Association of Texas. Sheriff Rowe was sworn into office at the 146th Annual Conference of the Sheriffs’ Association of Texas in Fort Worth.

This marks the first time a Cass County Sheriff has served in the statewide position. The Sheriffs’ Association of Texas is one of the oldest law enforcement associations in the nation. The Sheriffs’ Association of Texas met for the first time on August 14, 1874, in the courthouse in Corsicana, Navarro County, Texas.

The meeting was called to order by Sul Ross, Sheriff of McLennan County, who later became a notable part of Texas history. The Sheriffs began annual training conferences in 1878. Sheriffs and other county and local law enforcement officers, federal and state officers, and major industry security personnel attend.
