March 21, 2018 - On behalf of the Tenaha Police Department we would like to recognize the exceptional work of XTO Energy as they give back to our communities through their support of law enforcement.
XTO Energy and Mr. Jason Krause (pictured above) donated laptop computers which will be used in our patrol vehicles. The donation of these computers will increase faster response times to calls and assist in officer safety.
With the continued support from dedicated individuals and organizations such as XTO Energy, the Tenaha Police Department has the ability to better serve the City of Tenaha and Shelby County.

March 21, 2018 - Shelby County Courthouse employees recognized WDSD along with their co-worker Teresa Hughes in honor of her grandson, Jack.
World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), 21 March, is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. The date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.
The Shelby County courthouse chose to honor the day by wearing brightly coloured socks. The #rockyoursocks campaign encourages people to bring awareness by wearing brightly coloured socks, long socks, printed socks, 1 sock or even 3 socks for 3 chromosomes. The idea is to wear something people will ask you about so that you can tell them about WDSD.
