<blockquote>
As a criminal investigator and community relations officer, he was instrumental and a pioneer on bringing new policing practices, such as his collaboration to install a Crime Stoppers program (1981) and ... an independent Police K-9 program. I think that because of his tenure at the Laredo Police Department and the Webb County Sheriff's Office, our community is safer today. … We will be forever thankful for his collaboration to better our city's and county's welfare. May he rest in peace."<ref name=lmt>{{cite web|url=https://www.lmtonline.com/local/article/Former-Webb-County-Sheriff-Juan-Garza-dies-at-73-15291387.php#item-85307-tbla-1|title=Former Webb County Sheriff Juan Garza dies at 73|publisher=''The Laredo Morning Times''|author=César Rodriguez|date=May 23, 2020|accessdate=May 26, 2020}}</ref></blockquote>
