On May 18th, 2006 the
Hill Country Village Police Officers Association presented a plaque to the
citizens of SrSgt Joseph P. Moseley joined
the ranks of the Hill Country Village Police Department in August of 1990 and
quickly progressed through the ranks. Joe
achieved the rank of Senior Patrolman in January 1994 and then the rank of
Corporal in October of that same year. Joe
continued to thrive within the department as he was promoted to Sergeant less
than a year later. Finally in
September of 1997 Joseph Moseley was promoted to the rank of Senior Sergeant,
which he maintained until his untimely death on February 27th, 2000. SrSgt Moseley was a vital member
of the police department exercising his expertise on numerous occasions.
Joe’s most notorious achievement occurred in May of 1999 when SrSgt
Moseley was monitoring radio traffic as a manhunt was on for a suspect vehicle
involved in several aggravated assaults in a nightclub parking lot in San
Antonio. One of the victims of these
assaults was an off-duty Terrill Hills Police Officer who was working a security
detail at the nightclub. The
off-duty officer attempted to stop the vehicle after witnessing other assaults
occur and in the officers attempt, he was ultimately struck by the vehicle and
suffered life-threatening injuries. SrSgt
Moseley was monitoring vehicle traffic within the boundaries of his jurisdiction
when he observed the suspect vehicle approaching him.
SrSgt Moseley then began a brief vehicle pursuit, which eventually ended
in a felony traffic stop and the arrest of the aggravated assault suspect.
The suspect was eventually found guilty of his crimes and sentenced to
prison. Joe was a true friend to all who knew him, but most of all Joe was a great “cop”. Joe lived and breathed law enforcement and was a mentor for all. Joe is and always will be greatly missed by his fellow co-workers and friends; his sudden death affected us all. Joe’s memorial plaque is proudly displayed on the walls of the city hall foyer for all to see. Please take a couple moments out of your busy schedules to stop by city hall and pay your own personal respects to SrSgt Joseph P. Moseley.
