Deputy Martinez: Service Beyond the Badge | Lubbock News

Deputy Roberto Martinez, a nine-year Sheriff’s Office veteran and five-year Courts Division stalwart, is being honored for his tireless service—balancing roles as Field Training Officer, Family Court lead, and military veteran with an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice and dual licenses. His Army background shaped his stress-management philosophy: tackle problems one at a time. Beyond the badge, he’s a devoted husband of 20 years and father of four, who unwinds with movies, ramen hunts, and annual Savannah St. Patrick’s Day trips. Deeply committed to community, he leads the Honor Guard, supports the Texas South Plains Honor Flight, and participates in parades, Special Olympics events, and Memorial Day ceremonies—all while living by his mantra: “Everything happens for a reason, and it will all work out in the end.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
