Police chief reports successful July 4 events, audit cleared with one fix; reserves discussed
Summary
The Police Chief reported 69 calls in June and said the department passed a new Texas Commission on Law Enforcement sustainability audit with one corrected deficiency; council questioned reserve-officer hours and compensation.
The Chief told the council the July 4 parks celebration drew more than 500 people across city parks and that there were no incidents to report. "For the month of June, we had 69 calls, 78 citations, 45 warnings," the Chief said in his monthly report.
He described the recent Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCO) audit and a new sustainability review, saying the agency found one deficiency that the department corrected within 30 days and that the department otherwise passed. "We actually passed that with 0 deficiencies all the way across the board," the Chief said of the sustainability portion.
Council members pressed for detail on reserve-officer expectations and hours; the Chief explained reserves are state-commissioned and can work traffic jobs, noted a range of historical hour expectations (16–20 hours per month) and said leadership has discussed increasing expectations to 30 hours in some cases to ensure coverage.
Why it matters: Staffing levels, reserve‑officer commitments, and audit results affect police coverage and departmental accreditation.
