Chief Haggard has gained the respect of Snyder officers and other law-enforcement agencies in the area and has pledged to continue close association with all entities.

"New officers in Snyder can experience a lot of training. We provide newer cars and new equipment. I have a lot of confidence in the officers who work here. We currently have an extremely young department, but the confidence I have in them is 100 %. They work hard and work good together. I think is a good department to start with and a great place to work."
