Puerto Rican Fidel (notCastro)
GPPD Podcast - Grand Prairie Police (TX)
06/30/24 • 67 min
Fidel (the 3rd) was born in Puerto Rico and came to the US when he was four. His dad joined the Army and he lived the typical army brat live moving all across the country. Fidel went to four different high schools in a two-year period. After high school he enlisted in the USMC where he served in the infantry. He did four years and deployed twice to the Middle East.
After getting out of the military, he got into government contracting for twelve years and worked all over the global with DynCorps and Triple Canopy. During that time, he had three girls as well.
He later joined GPPD where he has been with us for about six years. In that time, he has worked patrol and is a current SWAT team member.
They share some funny stories of his report writing journey and riding around in the car with Nate while in FTO. Fun fact about Fidel, he is the longest tenured Blue Belt at GPPD in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu where he has held that honor for 12 years now (at Blue Belt).

Thomas grew up in the DFW area. As a teen, he met his future wife at a church event and the rest is history. They have now been married for 16 years. Tommy played football and went to SAGU (Southwestern Assemblies of God University) in Waxahachie where he played football.
As a kid growing up, he didn't have aspirations to be a police officer. After college he was working for a moving company and decided he needed to find a career with a pending family. He sought out policing and got hired by a local police agency. He attended the regional police academy where he met and trained with current GPPD officers. He completed training and worked at that agency for about 11.5 years.
A few years ago, he lateralled to GPPD for a change of pace and more opportunity. After being here a few years, he took the Sergeant test and was one of only three people to pass the sergeant test. So despite being relatively new with GPPD still, the department took 3 supervisors so he promoted!
SERGEANT Tommy is on nights now where he has been for a year now as a supervisor. He is going good work and is a testament to hard work and taking opportunities! We are lucky to have him for sure.

Chad grew up NOT in the city, but on a 100,000 acre ranch. Needless to say, he learned quite a lot about animals, fencing, and country living.
Chad later joined the Marine Corps (USMC). After getting out, he went to college and got his degree. He then became a professional bull rider competing on the PBR. After breaking most bones and getting impaled by a bull through his head/face, he met his wife (while injured). Chad then pursued his goal of law enforcement. Chad became a state trooper up north for a few years. He then came to Texas and joined another local agency (shoutout APD). After doing a few years there, he came to GPPD. He has been with GPPD since 2014. In his time here he has been in patrol, a Field Training Officer (FTO), Honor Guard member, and part of the Mounted Unit.
Chad lives the country life where he has numerous animals on their 13 acres of land. His is currently breeding 1/2 Angus and 1/2 Wagu cows which will be some tasty meat!
