March 3rd Officer Brandy Roell Retires

2011-03-09T07:24:00.000-08:00

On Thursday March 3, 2011, Officer Brandy Roell retired from the San Antonio Police Department. Officer Roell was involved in an incident in which she was critically wounded just days graduating the San Antonio Police Academy.

Although Brandy has retired, due to her injuries, she will still be an integral part of our department and recruiting. The San Antonio community has no idea what an outstanding officer they will not have a chance to get to know. Brandy is credited for her heroism and her WARRIOR MINDSET in what seemed an impossible situation in which 2 fellow officers at the scene survived because of her ability to think her way out of it. Her tenacity to survive enabled Officer Pete Garcia to access her and pull her to safety while the suspect was still actively shooting.

Thank you Brandy,

Officer Sergio Antillon Bdg # 0224_ Class 2010A

2010-10-18T20:08:00.000-07:00

Officer Sergio Antillon, age 25, one of The San Antonio Police Department's newest Officers to graduate on August 20, 2010 was critically injured on October 14, 2010 a little after 2:00am by a suspected drunk driver. Officer Antillon, was on his way home upon finishing his shift when he stopped to assist a brother officer handling a single vehicle accident on a highway overpass.

Officer Antillon could have very well gone home, but having the privilege of knowing him prior to becoming a cadet, he did what I saw was always in his heart to do... to stop and help. This is who he is, a true servant of the public.

While preparing himself for the academy and for his dream to become a public servant I saw for myself his selfless heart and desire to be the best. I saw from the moment he crossed my path that what he possessed went well beyond what was required to be a police officer. His classmates, instructors and supervisors briefly came to know a very special person, officer and friend. I am humbled and honored to call him my friend & my brother as all of us that wear the badge are honored to know what an outstanding human being Officer Antillon is.

As of this posting, Officer Antillon and his family are in great need of your prayers and your thoughts as he is in the fight of his life. Please keep Officer Antillon close to your hearts in everything you do so that he does not fight this battle alone.
