Deputy Sheriff Stephen Traeger retires after 27 years
Hays County Deputy Sheriff Stephen Traeger retired Friday after serving over 27 years in law enforcement.
“He had many other responsibilities and the impact he made in these programs was outstanding,” the Hays County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post. “His dedication and professionalism will be sorely missed at the Hays County Sheriff’s Office.”
Traeger spent the last seven years in the Community Outreach Unit where he upgraded and ran many different programs. An announcement from the Hays County Sheriff’s Office said he played an instrumental role in the Citizen’s Academy, the Citizen’s Academy Alumni Association, Junior Deputy Academy and the Hays County Explorer Post.
