SUMMARY:Luncheon - Feb 21st - Matt Caswell Brings us Lt. Scott Stevenson Texas Ranger
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Matt Caswell brings us a program from – Texas Ranger Lieutenant Scott Stevenson.\n\nLt. Stevenson is one of the Rangers that guards the Texas Tech Football Coach McGuire on the sidelines at games.\nFrom the Facebook page of the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHappy College Football season! Did you know that many head college football coaches have a choice in what their security detail will be? At Texas Tech University in Lubbock\, it’s the Texas Rangers of Company C.\n\n\nThe practice of a Texas Ranger security detail for coaches started with the University of Texas (UT) former head coach Mack Brown in 1998. Today\, Texas Tech is the only college that uses Rangers for its security detail\, which was started under head coach Mike Leach. Other Texas college coaches have security handled by the Texas Highway Patrol\, various sheriff departments\, and local city-level police. UT currently uses the Texas Highway Patrol.\n\n\nOne of the current Rangers handling the security is Ranger Lt. Scott Stevenson\, stationed in Lubbock. Lt. Stevenson has been on the security detail since 2013. He enjoys working with many of the young men who come through the football program and has helped several go on to begin careers in the Department of Public Safety. Stevenson also enjoys getting to be on the sidelines for a sport he loves to watch. Be on the lookout for several Rangers on the sidelines of Texas Tech football games this fall!\n\n\n\nExcerpts From an article By Sydney Lowther\n\nPublished: Jul. 14\, 2023\n“Definitely a prestige and honor to represent the Texas Rangers and be a part of the history that proceeds us\,” Company C Texas Ranger Lieutenant Scott Stevenson said.\nBut the role of a Texas Ranger has changed since the 1800s. They are no longer a small group protecting new land\, now they assist local agencies in investigations anywhere from murders\, missing persons\, and public corruption.\n“I think it gives a lot of agencies a piece of mind\, just knowing that hey if they need us were just a phone call away\,” Lt. Scott Stevenson said.\nTwo hundred years later\, the Texas Rangers are holding onto the cherished legacy of their predecessors.\n“That white shirt cowboy hat\, when it walks into a scene everyone kinda notices when we arrive on scene and that’s special to me and very special to be a part of\,” Lt. Stevenson said.\nBeing a member of the longest-running law enforcement agency with statewide jurisdiction also comes with many risks.\n\n\n\n\n\nHolding the title of a Texas ranger means holding the history of the past 200 years.\n“I don’t think id do anything else I think im exactly where I want to be and proud to be here” Lieutenant Stevenson said.\n  \n
