James Brennand, a former officer with the San Antonio Police Department and decorated Army veteran, has stepped up in the aftermath of devastating flooding across Texas. Despite facing serious and unjust criminal charges that threaten his freedom, family, and future, Brennand has dedicated himself once again to helping his fellow Texans in their greatest time of need.
Over the past week, Brennand has been on the front lines with a search and rescue team in Center Point and Comfort, Texas. The floods have left widespread destruction in these communities, displacing families and leaving many missing. Brennand and his team have tirelessly combed through hundreds of piles of debris, often shoulder to shoulder with cadaver K9 teams and other local and state agencies.
In addition to physically searching for victims, Brennand has helped provide essential donations to support families who have lost everything. His commitment to service, even under extraordinary personal stress, highlights his unwavering dedication to the safety and well-being of others.
The National Center for Police Defense, Inc. (NCPD) has been a strong supporter of Officer Brennand as he continues to fight for justice after being unjustly charged for actions taken while performing his duties as an officer. Brennand faces charges of aggravated assault by a public servant and deadly conduct—serious accusations that carry potential sentences ranging from five years to life in prison if convicted.
Despite these looming legal battles, Brennand remains focused on serving his community. His actions during this crisis echo the same courage and selflessness that marked his career as both a soldier and a police officer. In a moment when many would understandably retreat, Brennand has instead chosen to risk his own safety to help others, embodying the highest ideals of public service.
As Texas communities begin the long road to recovery, Brennand’s volunteer efforts stand as a testament to his character and resilience. With the continued support of organizations like the National Center for Police Defense, he remains committed to both defending his name in court and defending the lives of those in need on the ground.
