Drivers are encouraged to avoid the area of West Loop 289 & 19th Street. There’s an increased amount of traffic, as drivers are attempting to look at potential damage and are driving through high water or causing increased traffic congestion. This increased traffic is causing delays for first responders. If possible, please remain off roadways and Turn Around & Don’t Drown!

Despite a diagnosis of cancer several years ago, Officer Barber continued his work until recently and fought valiantly until the very end.

Thank you, John, for your service to our department, to the profession of law enforcement and to the Hub City.

We’ll take it from here.

[Lubbock Police Dept. @LubbockPolice]

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of one of our own, Officer John Barber.

Officer Barber, who served the citizens of Lubbock more than 18 years, was a respected and well-loved member of the LPD’s Mounted Patrol Unit. In addition to his training of officers and dedication to the department, he was also well known for his leather work and craftsmanship, specifically for Texas Tech’s Masked Rider.

Let's go!

Today marks five years since we lost Officer Nicholas Reyna, a brave soul who dedicated his life to serving and protecting our community. He was more than just a police officer; he was a beloved husband, father, son, a brother, and a true hero.

We remember Ofc. Reyna's unwavering commitment, compassion, and courage. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the positive impact he made.

Let us honor Ofc. Reyna by continuing to support one another and striving to build a safer, stronger community. Also, let us not forget the ultimate sacrifice of Lubbock Fire and Rescue's Lieutenant Eric Hill and Firefighter Matt Dawson.

Please keep the family and friends of all involved in your thoughts and prayers.

We will never forget. 💙🖤 #NeverForgotten
