opponents, Judge Benton emerged as best all-around fit for the job. An
affiliate to Georgetown First Baptist Church in Georgetown he is a graduate
of Southwestern University with extensive law enforcement continuing
education including TCLEOSE Master Peace Officer Certification. Judge
Benton has spent over 20 years in law enforcement, serving as a Texas State

the Georgetown Police Department. During that time he earned a
reputation for straight-arrow fairness and professionalism. Through

the conclusions they drew. Judge Benton will continue to build the
fine reputation the court has earned.
