 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.
