The Conference was organized by Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber and the Bexar County Criminal District Attorney’s Office and was attended by numerous agencies from across the region.

During the intel conference, attendees shared vital information regarding enforcing and fighting illicit activities.

Sheriff Schmerber thanked those in attendance, including local officials District Attorney Roberto Serna, Commissioners Roberto Ruiz and Rosy Cantu, and County Attorney Gloria Hernandez.

The conference was then initiated by a presentation from speaker Bexar County DA Investigator Gabriel Treviño.

Some presentation categories included Human Trafficking, Illegal Rooster Fighting Rings, How to Protect an Informant, among other law enforcement procedures.

Sheriff Schmerber appreciates everyone who attended the Gang Intel Conference and looks forward to continuing working with all agencies in the near future.

“We must stay on top of this type of criminal activities. This type of training and conferences are important tools in order to tackle any problems that may arise from illegal gang activity,” stated Schmerber.

“Law enforcement must be attentive to any measures that assist in eliminating this type of threat. We will continue to fight all threats against our community’s peace and safety,” concluded Schmerber.
