Houston Police Executive Assistant Chief Keith Seafous Honored with SAR Law Enforcement Medal at Cy-Fair Chamber Luncheon
In a heartfelt and patriotic moment that blended history with honor, the Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce spotlighted one of Houston’s finest during its December General Membership Luncheon, held Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at the Berry Center. Executive Assistant Chief Keith Seafous of the Houston Police Department was named the First Responder Honoree of the month, receiving accolades from both civic leaders and community members.
In front of a crowd that included local officials, veterans, community leaders, and Seafous’ own family, the Chief was presented with a certificate of appreciation from the Cy-Fair Chamber. The highlight of the afternoon came when Tom Jackson, a prominent local leader and representative of the Texas Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) Robert Rankin Chapter, presented Seafous with the SAR Law Enforcement Medal.
The prestigious medal is reserved for those in law enforcement who have served with distinction, dedication, and impact—a description that perfectly fits Chief Seafous’ career.

“On this day, 252 years ago, a group of men aided by enterprising ladies had a holiday party in the Boston Harbor,” said Jackson, referencing the Boston Tea Party with a touch of historical flair during his introduction. “It is most appropriate today that we recognize Executive Assistant Chief Keith Seafous of the Houston Police Department. He and his department of detectives help to guarantee our liberties outlined in the Bill of Rights by protecting lives and property.”
Tom Jackson—a CPA, longtime community volunteer, CFISD Trustee Emeritus, and a national and state leader within the Sons of the American Revolution—has a long history of honoring public servants who reflect the values of patriotism and service.
“Chief Seafous has exemplified what it means to lead with integrity in the face of challenges,” Jackson said. “His work uplifts the spirit of our founding ideals, and it’s an honor to celebrate that today.”
