(Seguin) Guadalupe County is applauding a local non-profit organization for its around the clock assistance in helping to solve crime. The Guadalupe County Commissioners Court recently recognized the Guadalupe County Crime Stoppers Program for its continued efforts to creatively and effectively assist law enforcement in their investigation of crimes throughout the county.
This year’s recognition by the court, however, also included the honoring of the program’s chairman Ken Kiel. After leading the program for the last 10 years, Kiel has decided to step down from the Crime Stoppers board of directors.
Calling what he describes as “tough shoes to fill is new Board Chairman David Reiley. Reiley says thanks to Kiel, Crime Stoppers has not only proven successful on a local level but it has also garnered plenty of recognition across the state.

(Seguin) “There are just not enough vaccines to go around.” Those are the words of Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher who is providing yet another update and reminder to all those who are looking for the COVID-19 vaccine.
“Everything that we’ve been talking about just like the public has been hearing, there’s not enough vaccine to go around. We’ve got right around two million vaccines distributed in the state of Texas for 30 million Texans. If they were distributing 200,000 to 250,000 vaccines per week, it would take over 70 weeks to vaccinate the entire state of Texas, so we’ve got some supply deficiencies to say the least but what we’ve focused on working with our partners in the city of Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, Seguin, New Braunfels and the smaller cities is basically identifying and solidifying those mass vaccination sites within multiple major cities but also with our partners working with volunteer groups
(Seguin) Although the county remains on standby, Guadalupe County officials says it is still working to prepare residents for when the COVID-19 vaccines do become available.
Patrick Pinder, Guadalupe County emergency management officer, says the first step will be for residents to sign up for the county’s Reverse 9-1-1 system. Pinder says by signing up for this alert, it will provide them with immediate news on any vaccination supply that arrives.
“You can go to the county webpage. Go to the emergency management section and on the left hand column, go all the way down, it’s the second from the bottom and you sign up for that. What that does is it provides your information. You put in however you want to be notified, phone call, email, text and what we are going to do is when we find out when we are going to have a vaccine allocation, we are going to notify people through that system. We can basically draw a circle on the map – you know whether that’s going to be in Segu
