In a perfect world, there would be no crime because a citizen's want or need would be granted. Unfortunately, we are not living in a perfect world in Longview, Texas or in Gregg County because crime continues to happen. It's not just Longview and Gregg County, crime happens throughout the world.

Criminals are aware of the laws that we all must abide by, but they make the choice to abandon those laws and basically do what they please. In these cases, it is left up to law enforcement to enforce the laws or ordinances of the city, county, state, and nation.

Once those who break the law are apprehended they are arrested and processed through the jail system with intentions of being held responsible for their actions.

Last week, the Gregg County Sheriff's Office, Longview Police Department, and the Kilgore Police Department along with Texas DPS officers were busy with traffic stops, serving warrants, and working with additional agencies to make our streets and communities safer for everyone in Gregg County.
