## Caption

After six years of dedicated service at Temple Station—three years as a Lieutenant and three years as Captain—Captain Meza has been promoted to Commander of South Patrol Division.

During his time at Temple Station, Commander Meza built lasting relationships with deputies, professional staff, and community members alike. He often spoke about one of the most rewarding parts of his career: watching Temple Station deputies walk into their first briefing as trainees and grow into Field Training Officers, Special Assignment Team members, detectives, and sergeants. Along the way, he also had the privilege of getting to know their families, celebrating weddings, and sharing in milestones such as the births of their children.

Commander Meza consistently reminded us that family comes first because, at the end of the day, that is what matters most. His leadership fostered a culture where people felt supported, valued, and empowered to succeed.

Whether at a community event, city council meeting, or speaking with local leaders, Commander Meza was always proud to represent Team Temple. He never missed an opportunity to highlight the professionalism, dedication, and hard work of the men and women of Temple Station.

When he became Captain, his goal was simple: support Temple Station and the community and leave it better than he found it. Through his leadership, Temple Station continued to reduce crime, strengthen community partnerships, establish a foundation, expand the Temple Station Alumni Wall, participate in Baker to Vegas, host annual golf tournaments, celebrate holiday traditions, and create memories that will last for years to come.

Commander Meza, thank you for your unwavering support, leadership, and commitment to Team Temple. While you will be greatly missed, we are excited to see all that you will accomplish in your new role.
