Crockett police and fire departments report December activity; council discusses truck enforcement
Summary
The police department reported December activity (15 officers, 400 calls, 49 arrests, 369 citations); council questioned enforcement of 18-wheelers downtown. Fire staff reported 20 city calls in December and 315 year‑to‑date.
Council received monthly reports from the police and fire departments for December 2025.
Police reported 15 officers logged 2,357 hours, responded to 400 calls in December, investigated seven traffic accidents, made 49 arrests and issued 369 traffic citations. The chief noted 30 alarm responses in the month, 25 of which were false alarms. Council members raised concerns about 18-wheeler traffic downtown and asked whether tickets were issued or warnings given; officers said they issue citations and, when necessary, can take drivers before a judge or pursue towing depending on vehicle type, but staffing and logistics limit some enforcement options.
A city representative presented the fire department report on behalf of an absent chief: 20 calls within the city for December and 315 calls year-to-date; county calls for the month totaled 17 and 169 for the year. Council thanked staff for emergency preparations during recent freeze conditions.
