Justin Walker has become the newest patrol officer for the Bowie Police Department.
The 34-year-old comes to BPD after a stint at the Denison Police Department following his graduation from the Texoma Regional Police Academy in 2021.
Walker grew up in Denison where he graduated high school and decided to go into the Navy becoming a Seabee. Like many in this era, it was Sept. 11, 2001 and its terrorism events that led him to the military and serve his country.
During his four-year tenure he was deployed twice to Afghanistan and was stationed at Gulfport. After an ankle injury in Afghanistan Walker decided he would return to civilian life and pursue being a police officer, something he always wanted to do.
