Darrell Trawick (Source: Nacogdoches Police Department)NACOGDOCHES, TX (News Release) -
The Nacogdoches
Police Department has appointed a new Warrant Officer/Bailiff to work with the
Nacogdoches Municipal Court.
Darrell Trawick, who retired as a
Lieutenant with the NPD at the end of December, began his new duties January 7th.
Since that time, he has been busy serving arrest warrants on those with
outstanding cases in Municipal Court. Trawick also serves as the bailiff during
Court proceedings.
According to Nacogdoches Municipal
Court Judge Juanita Springer, the position will insure that a bailiff is
present during all courtroom proceedings. "We are eager and pleased to have
Officer Trawick working in the Court. His presence will ensure that all
participants, including defendants and court staff, will be safer because of
his awareness and knowledge of the dangers associated with a court
environment", the Judge said.
Officer Trawick's duties will also
include active pursuing defendants with outstanding warrants and making
arrests. "Officer Trawick will be actively participating in the statewide
warrant round up this year, and we anticipate he will be a great asset in
gaining compliance from those who have outstanding warrants", said Nacogdoches
Police Chief Jim Sevey. "It is important that residents get warrants cleared,
because if they do not, they run the risk of being arrested on a traffic stop
or even when they go to renew their drivers licenses", he added.
Trawick began his career with the
Nacogdoches Police Department in 1982 as a Patrol Officer.
The Municipal Court may be contacted at
936-559-2641. Lobby hours are 8:00 am- 4:00 PM weekdays. The court is located
at 217 West Hospital Street.
