Jamaica Beach Police back Astros with "relentless" spirit
You don't want to get pulled over by police, but if you do, you will see Jamaica Beach police officers sporting badges and hats with Astros-themed colors.
"You heard the phrase humanize the badge, we're human like everyone else; we enjoy sports," Chief Raymond Garivey said.
The Astros slogan this year is "Relentless." It's a word that has deep meaning for Chief Garivey, "Relentless is not giving up, fighting through tough times, fighting when you're down 9-1 to come back to win in the 9th inning."
Relentless was also the mantra for Abigial Arias, a young girl who had terminal cancer. In 2019, Chief Garivey, who was with Freeport Police then, swore in the 6-year-old girl as an honorary police officer.
Before her passing, Chief Garivey promised to inspire kids just like her, a promise he continues to keep to this day.
"When we go to venues, or I see them out here in the community, I gift them my crazy chain," Chief Garivey said. "Sometimes law enforcement gets beat up, but I fight for my law enforcement family to show you that we can use who we are as law enforcement to spread positive things in our community."
