Lamar County Adopt A Cop 5k & Walk in Their Shoes Event

Help us thank our officers who serve each day and honor those who have fallen at the Lamar County Adopt A Cop 5k & Walk In Their Shoes Community Event!  This very special event will begin with an incredible guest speaker at 8am. Cynthia Vetter, the wife of fallen Texas DPS Trooper Randall Vetter, will share her story of how the tragedy she and her son endured led her to make a difference for our men and women of law enforcement, as well as for children of fallen officers.
