Euless honors two police officers for service and investigations work

The Euless City Council recognized two members of the police department during its meeting, naming Senior Police Officer Chase La Pena the October employee of the month and awarding a 10-year service pin to Senior Officer Sean Bushey.

Police Chief Gary Landers, who presented the Employee of the Month award, noted La Pena’s 15 years with the Euless Police Department and his assignment to the special victims unit and several task forces. "What Chase does every single day is I don't know how he does it. He investigates, crimes against children... and he's relentless in his pursuit to put those people in jail," Landers said, praising La Pena’s work on cases involving child exploitation and abuse. La Pena introduced his wife, Tiffany, and their sons at the podium.

Landers also presented a 10-year service pin to Senior Officer Sean Bushey and summarized Bushey’s earlier service with the Woodway Police Department, his time in Highland Village, his degree from Midwestern State University and his role in community relations and the honor guard. The council applauded both officers for their service to the city and community.
