June is Pride Month — a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, honor its history, and advocate for equal rights. It also serves as a reminder of the progress we’ve made and the work still needed to ensure equality and justice for all.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office proudly joins in recognizing Pride Month. We remain committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and respect, both within our agency and throughout the communities we serve. Our commitment is reflected in our policies, training, and daily interactions.
To mark the occasion, we have updated our social media profile pictures in honor of Pride Month. This is one of the many ways we demonstrate our support for equality, inclusion, and unity online and in person.
We look forward to participating in this year’s Houston Pride Parade on Saturday, June 28. Members of the Sheriff’s Office, including Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, will walk alongside thousands of others to celebrate diversity and reaffirm our support for the LGBTQ+ community. Our deputies will also be present to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
As Pride Month comes to a close, our commitment to continuous learning, meaningful dialogue, and inclusivity remains stronger than ever. To all who are celebrating: we see you, we support you, and we stand with you. Happy Pride Month from all of us at HCSO!
Standing Together Against Gun Violence
Gun violence continues to take a devastating toll on families and neighborhoods across the nation. This month, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office joins others in observing Gun Violence Awareness Month and renewing our pledge to protect every resident in our community.
Our deputies are actively removing illegal firearms from our streets, investigating violent crimes, and participating in outreach programs aimed at preventing gun violence. We also advocate for responsible gun ownership: secure storage, safety education, and family conversations are crucial to protecting our homes.
As Gun Violence Awareness Month concludes, HCSO stands in solidarity with survivors and pledges to keep working toward a safer Harris County. By working together, we can end the cycle of violence and create a community rooted in safety, hope, and accountability.
If you see something, say something. To report illegal firearm activity or safety concerns:

Teammate of the Week
Harris County Sheriff’s Office Teammate of the Week: Sheriff Ed Gonzalez and the HCSO highlight exceptional teammates who serve others above and beyond their duties. We regularly receive positive emails, thank you notes, and phone calls from the community.
This week, we recognize Deputy Kathleen Duncan for her professionalism and outstanding representation of HCSO in the community.
A local resident recently shared the following:
“Deputy Duncan pulled me over earlier this month for rolling through a stop sign in my neighborhood. She was extremely professional, clear, and helpful. I was caught up in the swing of things and didn’t come to a full stop. It was a great reminder to stay mindful, and I truly appreciated her approach. She deserves to be recognized for the great job she’s doing.”
Deputy Duncan began her career with HCSO in 2013 as a Detention Officer, became a Deputy in 2015, and currently serves in Patrol. She is also an Instructor with the Strategic Response Group and serves as an LGBTQI+ Liaison.
