Police Chief Carlos Garcia on Friday announced his retirement from the City of Brownsville after accepting the job of Director of Security/Police Chief for the Port of Brownsville. Mr. Garcia’s first day on the job will be Tuesday, January 3, 2012.
At a press conference on Friday, December 2, 2011, flanked by City of Brownsville and Port of Brownsville officials, Mr. Garcia announced that he will be retiring from the City of Brownsville, and has accepted the Chief of Police job at the Port of Brownsville. “I am very honored to have served the City of Brownsville as both a police officer and Chief of Police over the last 30 years, I am very fond of the memories over the course of my career with the Brownsville Police Department, and I will cherish them forever….the opportunity at the Port of Brownsville will pose new challenges and opportunities and I am excited to take on with the same vigor and energy that I dedicated to the City of Brownsville,” said Garcia. Mr. Garcia’s law enforcement career spans over 30 years, including serving as City of Brownsville Police Chief for the last ten years. Port Director & CEO Eduardo A. Campirano stated that he is eager to begin working with Mr. Garcia. “Carlos has the experience and track record to be successful as our new Chief of Police. He brings exceptional integrity, credibility, and professionalism to our police department. We are excited about the leadership qualities and the new direction that our Police Department can embark on,” said Campirano.
Founded due to matters of national security after the events of September 11, 2001, the Port of Brownsville Police Department is responsible for protecting both commerce and the Port community. Over the years, the Port has received over 11 million dollars in grant funds for enhancing and hardening Port security. “We are seeing changes both in the infrastructure and leadership at the Police Department……and his experience will help guide us in maximizing our security investments,” added Campirano.

God Bless You Chief. May you have a sucessful term at the Port of Brownsville. Amen :)
Why announce that he "RETIRED"??? Does that mean he got a RETIRED EXIT PACKAGE on top of this RETIREMENT PENSION?????
How much is he going to get paid????
These TAX DOLLARS EMPLOYEES are ALL over paid and are the most pathetic workers not worth what they're paid.
Garcia was one of the WORST POLICE CHIEFS BROWNSVILLE EVER HAD. He always looked the other way when our so call POLITICAL ELITE'S when were engaging in their corruption!!!!! He will do the same at the port!!!!
I guess the fix was in on that position? Why did the Port waste candidate's time with taking applications? They already knew that the job would go to Garcia? What a crock!!!
$91,500 to take care of 8 cops and 4 sec/ gr an drive Eddie around and cover for him,which the other Chief would not.Where is COWEN ,Reed ?
Carlos don't lie there's only 8 COPS at the port NOT30! You were paid $110,000 to baby sit 306 cops NOW ..............$95,000 for30cops at the port. Some one is kissing a lot of ass. What's wrong with the port . Mr. COWEN are u not running any more,that's why u do not care what your C.E.O. $$$$$
Congratulations to the Chief!
Carlos remember Mary ? The port will not put up with this
8Cops $90,000 give me a job Iam going run!
That job used to pay $25,000 a year, which is about what it's worth. This is an abuse of tax payer dollars, Big Time.
Sounds like the fix was in from the beginning? Why go through all that BS when those in place knew who they wanted for Port Chief? But at that salary? Oye pendejo de Gavito, you got screwed! What is expected in the land of corruption?
