The Gunter Police Department would like to express its gratitude to members of our department and community.

At the last City Council meeting, Chief Jones introduced our newest officer, Officer Weikle, to the council, where his badge was officially pinned. This was a proud moment for both Officer Weikle and the department as he begins his service with the City of Gunter.

Following the badge pinning ceremony, Chief Jones presented Gunter Police Department Chaplains John Jonas and Roy Layman with Certificates of Appreciation in recognition of their dedication and unwavering commitment to the City of Gunter, our officers, and their families. Without their continued support, guidance, prayers, and willingness to serve during both difficult and celebratory times, our department would not be as strong as it is today. Their compassion and dedication have made a lasting impact on our officers and the community we serve.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to Marion Cole for being present to capture these moments for us. We appreciate your support.

Thank you to all who help make the Gunter Police Department and our community stronger each day.

Please join the Gunter Police Department in welcoming our newest officer, Officer A. Weikle, to the team.

Officer Weikle comes to the City of Gunter with over 6 years of law enforcement experience, along with an additional 5.5 years in Corrections and 2.5 years in EMS, bringing a total of 14 years of experience in the First Responder field.

Officer Weikle is also a certified Fi****ms Instructor and specializes in automotive crimes. We are excited to have him join our department and look forward to the experience, knowledge, and dedication he brings to serving the citizens of Gunter.

Welcome to the team, Officer Weikle!

Thank you to the Gunter City Council and City leadership for your continued support of the Gunter Police Department and our commitment to public safety. We appreciate your investment in our officers and community.

This Memorial Day, the Gunter Police Department honors and remembers the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten. Today, we pause to reflect and give thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Please join us in remembering our fallen heroes and keeping their families in your thoughts today.

We remember. We honor. We thank you.
