Life Saving Award Officer David Barnett III was commended by the State of Texas House of Representatives for saving the life of a Fort Worth resident. On October 17, Officer Barnett was called to the home of a man who was threatening to shoot himself. Barnett spoke calmly with the man and appealed to his religious faith to convince him to reconsider, and he ultimately succeeded in persuading the man to surrender his weapon and consent to receiving mental health treatment. Texas Star Award Fort Worth Police Officer Matt Brazeal received the Star of Texas Award for 2021. The award honors Texas peace officers, firefighters, emergency medi- cal first responders, and federal law enforcement officers who are seriously injured or killed in the line of duty. Brazeal was hit by a car on the shoulder of the road along West Loop 820 as he prepared to deploy stop sticks in June 2020. Other officers had tried to stop a driver because of a traffic violation. During the pursuit, they learned the SUV had been reported stolen.
