Retired Brazoria County Deputy Sheriff Ed Whitaker
Brazoria County Deputy Sheriff H.E. (Ed) Whitaker ended his long-time career as a law enforcement officer on Sept. 30, 2020. He has served his community as a peace officer for just over 50 years.
Whitaker began his law enforcement career after having graduated from the Lubbock Police Academy and worked for that police department for two years. His desire to work for a smaller community and the fact that his wife had family living in the area prompted him to come to the Alvin area. He applied to and began working for the Alvin Police Department.
His 33-year career with Alvin PD also included graduating as an emergency medical technician and a 25-year career as a volunteer with the Alvin Volunteer Fire Department. His tenure with the Alvin PD included 29-plus years as a patrol supervisor and graduating from the FBI National Academy for municipal police management.
After retiring from the Alvin Police Department Whitaker accepted a position with the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office as a courthouse security deputy. He served in this capacity for the past 15-plus years.
Whitaker has been married to his wife for moer than 50 years. He has one son, one daughter, and one granddaughter.
