In remembrance of Johnson County Sheriff’s Office’s Deputy Clifton Taylor who’s watch ended 14 years ago today when he was shot and killed after he and other deputies responded to a domestic disturbance near Venus shortly after 4 pm.

Upon arriving at the scene the deputies began searching for the male subject. Deputy Taylor was shot as he opened the door to a shed located near the property. The other deputies returned fire and killed the suspect.

Deputy Taylor was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wounds.

Deputy Taylor (31) had served with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office for three years. He is survived by his parents, siblings and fiancee.

April is 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐀𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, a time to raise awareness and reinforce our shared responsibility to protect children.
In 2024, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children received over 𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 of suspected child sexual exploitation through the CyberTipline. There has also been a rise in evolving threats, including a 𝟏,𝟑𝟐𝟓% 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 in reports involving AI-generated exploitation and nearly 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐲 of financial sextortion.
These are not just statistics — they represent real children and real cases.
At the Cleburne Police Department, protecting children remains a top priority, and we are committed to holding offenders accountable and safeguarding the most vulnerable in our community.
If you see something, say something.
