Police Involving Parents
In 2006, the Highland Village Police Department was awarded the Community Policing Award from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) as well as the Award of Excellence in Public Safety by the Texas Municipal League (TML) for this innovative program!
This concept, which to our knowledge is unique to the business of policing, provides the opportunity for Police Officers and Parents to work together toward identifying less than “strict” enforcement methods of dealing with youth behavior. Generally this program will apply to youth involved in first time “Class C” misdemeanor behavior. These issues may include but are not limited to Traffic Offenses, Curfew Violations, Minors in Possession of Alcohol, Minor Theft, Class C Criminal Mischief, etc. When these issues occur, the youth’s parents or legal guardian will immediately be contacted by a Police Officer at the offense location. Parents will be encouraged to respond to that location and assist the officer in identifying a resolution that is in the best interest of the youth.
Every effort will be made to identify options which may include participation in the First Offender Program or Parental Commitment to actions that will assure that the problem does not occur again.
We are looking forward to your involvement and support of this great new program. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
Feel free to call us, email us or stop by and visit to let us know how we can be of service.
