Bulverde police report: 1,166 calls in December; finance office says audit on track
Summary
The council received monthly police and finance reports: the police logged 1,166 calls, 14 arrests and 20 crash investigations in December; finance staff reported $539,472 in revenue collected and auditors on site, with an audit presentation expected in February or early March.
Bulverde’s council meeting on Jan. 13 included routine departmental reports. The police department reported 1,166 calls for service in December, 14 arrests and 20 crashes requiring formal crash investigation reports to the state. Average speed measurements were noted for several highways within the city limits.
A police representative (Speaker 2) described a school‑threat call that met the statutory definition of a terroristic threat when it prompted an emergency response: "Any type of threat that causes a response from emergency services," the speaker said, and noted challenges in proving such cases in court. The speaker also described an older burglary case later solved by DNA evidence, underscoring investigative follow‑through.
On finance, the city reported $539,472 in revenue collections with roughly $239,000 accrued back to FY2025. Interest earned on city investments totaled $22,322 and November sales tax receipts were $305,000. Staff said they received an ad valorem deposit today of nearly $2.1 million and that auditors are on site; the audit presentation is expected in February or at the first March meeting to meet the 180‑day requirement.
Council members asked follow‑up questions about specific incidents and data breakdowns; staff said more detailed information can be provided on request. The reports were informational and did not require council action at the Jan. 13 meeting.
