Citizens of Bastrop, Texas. We hope you will find this years
Annual Report interesting and as informative as we have, and
if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to
give us a call.
During 2003, the Police Department was very busy and heavily
involved with enhancing our Community Police and Crime Prevention
efforts. Both are necessary in creating a safe and crime free
environment that can be enjoyed by all that live and visit
this great City.

Because of this strong relationship between the Police Department
and the Community and the hard work of our dedicated police
officers and staff, our efforts have paid off. Despite our
growing population, the Department has seen a 16% decrease
in Part 1 Crimes and a 6% decrease in Part 2 Crimes.

Part 1 Crimes are the most serious crimes reported, such as
murder, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and
motor vehicle thefts. Part 2 Crimes are all other crimes such
as alcohol related offenses, forgeries, weapon and fraud offenses.
This Annual Report will give you an in-depth look at the
increase and decrease in the various types of crimes and what
this Department has accomplished over the past year. As your
Chief of Police, I can assure you that we have some of the
most dedicated police officers and support personnel looking
after your safety and security.
Please take an opportunity to review the report and should
you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact
me. We look forward to continuing to serve the fine citizens
of Bastrop.
