ROBSTOWN, Texas \u2014 A familiar face is making history at the Robstown Police Department after dedicating three decades to serving the community.<\/p>\n
Enrique Paredez Jr. has been promoted from lieutenant to assistant chief of police, becoming the first person to hold the position in at least 30 years.<\/p>\n

“I truly appreciate you,” Tamez said. “And the only expectation I have is that you continue to do exactly what you do now and continue to do what you’ve done for the last 30 years.”<\/p>\n
