Local public safety officers and volunteers are coming to the aid of a critically injured Burleson police sergeant by hosting the Sean Bolton Benefit Concert.
The event is slated for Sunday, May 18, at the stadium at Kerr Middle School on Johnson Avenue in Burleson.The gates will open at noon and the event will last until 9 p.m. At least seven bands, country and rock and roll, are slated to perform.Members of the Burleson Police Officers Association, Burleson Professional Firefighters Association, Burleson Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, and the Burleson Police Department’s Citizens on Patrol are hosting the festivities.
The 37-year-old traffic sergeant, who is a 12-year veteran of the BPD, was injured in an off-duty motorcycle accident on April 19 while on vacation in Florida . He is in critical but stable condition. Admission to the concert is a donation. Sean Bolton Benefit Concert t-shirts will be sold at the fundraiser. Several vendors will be selling food, water, and soft drinks. The police academy alumni will bring their mock jail and the firefighters will man a dunking booth, both to raise funds for the sergeant.
For more information about the event, call BPOA President Mike Owen at 817-739-739-5183 or alumni association president Tim Ivy at 817-721-7903.
WELCOME HOME SEAN!...WE'VE MISSED YOU!!
The rehabilitation hospital could only keep Sean, their star patient, for eight days.
On June 12, he was released, and one of the first places he stopped was the Burleson Police Department. Sean's police family welcomed him with a cake, a party and plenty of hugs.
Since then, he has been seeing more doctors than he cares to see. But, today (July 1) Sean was back at work handling the administrative part of supervising the traffic unit and working with the City's red light camera program. Sgt. Sean Bolton will be back on the streets, on his motorcycle, in the fall.
If you had any doubts about his will to survive, all you have to do is look at him. He's back, in every way, thanks to his stubborn, hard-headed, can't-keep-him-down attitude!
Thanks to everyone for the endless prayers, the cards, and the incredible support. In his own words, this has “damn sure been a life-changing experience.”

Good Morning! Sorry this update is so late in the day. Sean is recovering from his second surgery. He's beginning to open his eyes some and giving the thumbs up again. This is a very good sign and he's continuing to improve daily. Thanks for all your prayers.
The Bolton Family
