Police Administration 903-457-2913 Thank you for taking time to review our 2013 Annual Report. This year included many changes as we progressed toward Recognized Status through the Texas Police Chief s Association. One of the major benefits to the Recognition Program is the increased credibility of the agency and its officers in the eyes of the public, other law enforcement agencies, and the criminal justice system as a whole. We met our goal of completing the process in 2013. The inspection and final review will be completed in early 2014. Chief of Police Daniel J.
