The Board of Directors Regular Meeting held on July 23, 2025, in The Woodlands, Texas, focused on the resources and technology utilized by the Montgomery County SWAT team and fire marshals. The meeting highlighted the importance of these assets in ensuring public safety and responding to critical incidents.

During the meeting, officials introduced the SWAT team, which consists of 26 deputies and 2 sergeants. They showcased advanced technology, including bomb detection robots and drones, which are employed in high-risk situations. Captain Jesse Rausser, overseeing the homeland security command, emphasized the role of these technologies in enhancing safety for both law enforcement and the public. The robots are used in various scenarios, including bomb threats and hazardous materials incidents, allowing responders to assess situations without putting themselves in harm's way.

The fire marshal's office also presented their capabilities, noting that the robots are deployed during SWAT operations, which occur three to four times a month. These assets are crucial for responding to suspicious packages and other potential threats, with the technology being utilized approximately 5 to 10 times monthly.

Additionally, the meeting addressed a recent contract with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office to provide additional law enforcement coverage on local toll roads. This contract includes funding for up to 10 deputies, a lieutenant, and a sergeant to enhance safety in those areas.

A significant incident was discussed where technology played a vital role in apprehending a suspect involved in an attack on a jogger. The swift response and use of tracking systems led to the suspect's arrest within a week, demonstrating the effectiveness of the resources available to law enforcement.

The meeting concluded with a reminder to the public about updated contact numbers for law enforcement, ensuring community members are informed and can easily reach out for assistance. Overall, the discussions underscored the commitment of local authorities to leverage technology and resources for the safety and security of The Woodlands community.
