Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 83: The Alamo Rangers
It is National Police Week in the United States. This year, the Alamo Rangers mark 50 years as the official security force of the Shrine of Texas Liberty. The role is steeped in the responsibility of protecting the Alamo Church and Long Barrack – the original mission’s two surviving structures – along with priceless artifacts, and the millions of people who visit the historic site.
We reveal the history of the Alamo Rangers, how the force has evolved over the decades, and the front row seat to history the Rangers have, as both guards and ambassadors of the Alamo. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Historian Ernesto Rodriguez, the Alamo Rangers Chief Gerald Ramirez, Alamo Ranger Sgt. Xavier Flores, and Alamo Ranger Sgt. Daniel Ramirez.
