Chief James R. Wulf
Badge #607
Sabinal Police Department Sabinal, Texas
Chief of Police James Robert Wulf,
drowned December 31, 1984. Chief Wulf drowned while conducting a
rescue of a man whose car became trapped while attempting to
drive across a low water crossing on Highway 127 over the Sabinal
River.
Rescuers were waiting for a helicopter
to arrive but Chief Wulf thought the water was rising too fast
and volunteered to go to the car on a rope. He was able to rescue
the elderly man but lost his grip while returning to shore and
drowned.
Chief Wulf was survived by his mother,
brother, and two sisters. He had previously served with the
Uvalde County Sheriff's Department.
