The Watauga Police Department would like to know about
positive police contacts. Please write the Chief a letter or note to let
him know about a positive contact with our officers. The Chief will let
the officer know about your letter and a copy will be placed in the
officer’s personnel folder.
The Watauga
Police Department
realizes that there will be disagreements, from time to time, with
individuals that come in contact with our officers. We realize that
confusion, different perceptions or possibly the timeliness of information
could result in information that may produce different accounts of the
same incident. These disagreements between citizens and officers need to
be addressed. We trust that the vast majority of contacts between citizens
and officers are conducted in a positive, professional manner. We cannot
be effective without both the community and our officers working together
to achieve this goal.
Citizens
feeling that they have a legitimate concern may make a formal complaint
to the Watauga Police Department at any time by contacting any member of this
department for information on the complaint process.
This Department supports the 77th
Texas Legislature’s mandate prohibiting racial profiling in Texas. Our
Police Officers work under a departmental policy that is consistent with all
state and federal laws. The policy includes provisions for citizens to
contact us if they have a conflict with a Watauga Police Officer.
We are very proud of the
relationship the Watauga Police Department shares with the community. Our longstanding
goal is to provide our citizens with a safe community where all may live
without the fear of crime.
