In a partnership with the Peace Officers’ Angels Foundation, the Texas Rangers will host its Annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Night on March 30, 2019, at their 7:05 game.
Two officers, both Forney High School graduates, are scheduled to throw the ceremonial first pitch that night. Brothers Danny Shaw, Jr. and Bryan Shaw received this honor, as they were both injured separately in the line of duty in 2016.
While serving with the Dallas County Community College District Police Department, Corporal Bryan Shaw received a gunshot wound to the abdomen during an ambush on El Centro College in July 2016. In November 2016, Officer Danny Shaw, a Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper, was shot in the hip during a gunfight at the Texas-Mexico border. A Resolution by the Texas House of Representatives during Texas’s 85th Legislature in 2017 recognized both officers for their heroic actions. Officer Danny Shaw was also the recipient of a Purple Heart in December 2017.
