 The
Police Department is responsible for providing law enforcement in the City
of Hill Country Village. The Department is divided into six distinct
service areas: patrol, police investigation, fire investigation, emergency
management, code compliance, and operations. The functions of the Police
Department are authorized, and to a significant extent mandated, through
Federal and State statutes and are essential for the protection of life
and property.
In performing the
patrol, investigation, and code compliance functions, the Police
Department provides protection, traffic control, emergency management
coordination, and municipal code compliance; assists other law enforcement
agencies; conducts crime prevention programs; and investigates crimes. The
Department also works closely with the City Engineer in conducting traffic
analysis, the Building Inspector regarding Code Compliance, and with the
Animal Control Officer. Dispatch services are provided by the Bexar County
Sheriff’s Office.
