Meet Jameson, a very special young boy with a big heart and a deep admiration for law enforcement. When he learned that Detective Seaton had been hospitalized, he immediately sent her a heartfelt letter and a hand-drawn picture to lift her spirits. Deeply touched by his kindness, Detective Seaton wanted to return the gesture in a meaningful way. She invited Jameson to the HCSO Wallisville Substation, where he received a personal tour of the station, met several dedicated District 3 deputies, and explored one of our patrol vehicles. Deputy Hilson even took the time to show Jameson her patrol gear—and surprised him with a challenge coin to remember the day. This moment is a wonderful reminder of the powerful connections between our deputies and the residents we serve. Building trust, inspiring young hearts, and supporting our community—that’s what HCSO is all about. 💛🚓
