On April 27, 2018, Police Officer Charles M. Whites, Jr. succumbed to injuries sustained when hit by a vehicle on February 25th while directing traffic. Born on August 22, 1954, in Sherman, TX, with a soul that has the courage to wear the badge, Officer Whites had been saving, serving, and protecting the people as a law enforcement officer for 19 years. Officer Whites served as a patrol officer, field training officer, and a SWAT negotiator while sworn with the Round Rock Police Department in Texas–a long-time dream fulfilled.

Officer Whites was most known for his calm demeanor and passion for the job; a veteran lawman who just loved being out on the streets, patrolling his beloved community. He was a well-respected officer among his peers and the citizens he served. Those who met him felt an instant connection and trust. Charles was a lover of the outdoors: caving, climbing, scuba diving, hiking, wilderness backpacking, and cross-country and down-hill skiing. He was a manager of Wilderness Whitewater Supply until he pursued his passion of policing. He was also a voracious reader and lover of music and poetry–a true renaissance man.
