John Allen, Patrol Officer.

Jack Allen, Patrol Officer

Hello, my name is John H. Allen, but please call me "Jack" or I won't know you are speaking to me. I was born and raised in Houston, TX. I have over thirteen years law enforcement experience. I started my career with the Galveston County Sheriff's Office where I spent twelve years. I have worked on the Federal, State, County, and Municipal law enforcement levels.

I have extensive experience working illicit drug investigations, including two years working for the United States Drug Enforcement Administration's Galveston Resident Office as a Task Force Officer.

I currently hold an Advanced Texas Peace Officer License. I am a certified Field Training Officer, certified Police Instructor, and I am certified in Marine Patrol by Texas Parks and Wildlife.

I am honored to be serving the citizens of Bastrop and I am proud to be a part of this community.
