TEXAS GAME WARDENS The

TEXAS GAME WARDENS The wardens used 4X4 trucks and shallow-water vessels to reach and evacuate residents in the hardest-hit areas of New Orleans. By the end, more than 100 Texas game wardens rescued more than 5,000 people from their homes. “We witnessed the devastation of a historic city and how it brought out the best and worst of human behavior,” he says. Davis says the wardens hold on to personal stories about the people they met, and still think about the people rescued and the ones who didn’t make it. “I’ll never forget the dedication and tireless efforts of each and every game warden who answered the call,” Davis says. “They persevered through unimaginable challenges and made a difference when it counted the most.” Twelve years later, it was Texas’ turn to feel the wrath of Gulf weather. Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas coast near Rockport, causing widespread flooding across most of the state’s coastline. Game wardens leapt into action to help with search-and-rescue efforts throughout Texas. When it was over, 368 wardens had rescued more than 12,000 from floodwaters. “Harvey was originally set to hit my hometown of Corpus Christi,” says game warden Carmen Rickel. “I had spent the day before preparing my own home, and helping my neighbors board up their houses. I worried about getting my husband to a safe place and making sure our extended family was prepared.” 62 The BLUES POLICE MAGAZINE The BLUES POLICE MAGAZINE 63
