It's #TeammateTuesday! Meet Deputy Mendez with the Harris County Sheriff's Office at TranStar. He helps stranded motorists get safely off freeways. During Hurricane Beryl, he assisted a Houston Police Department Commander involved in a crash.

HPD partners said the following: “The professionalism and dedication to duty demonstrated by Deputy Mendez during adverse weather conditions should be commended”.
