Court approves first motorcycle patrol unit for Precinct 4; constable highlights training and local partnerships
Summary
The court approved a resolution establishing a motorcycle patrol unit in Hidalgo County Precinct 4; Constable Atanasio Jr. Gaetan described training, partner agencies present, and the unit’s role in traffic enforcement and community engagement.
The Hidalgo County Commissioners Court on March 3 adopted a resolution creating the county’s first motorcycle patrol unit in Precinct 4, an initiative presented by Constable Atanasio Jr. Gaetan.
Gaetan told the court that deputies assigned to the unit have completed rigorous training and that the motorcycles will allow faster emergency response, maneuvering through congested traffic, and increased traffic enforcement around school zones and community events. He thanked state and local law-enforcement partners who attended the meeting and noted the unit is intended to make precinct policing more agile and visible.
The court’s vote to approve the resolution was recorded by voice; the motion carried. The resolution commends the constable’s office and authorizes the unit’s establishment; county officials said the unit will be integrated with existing public-safety operations and supported by local partners.
