The Bastrop Police

after members of our Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association successfully

These uniformed Volunteer
Park Rangers will be patrolling Fisherman' s Park, June Hill Pape River
Walk and Bob Bryant Park located in the Riverside Grove subdivision
looking for and immediately reporting to patrol officers violations
of park rules, criminal mischief and suspicious activity. They will
also be available to assist those in need and answer questions park
visitors may have about our parks or the community.
The success of reducing crime in our Parks as well as the entire City,
comes from the partnership we have with our community, the Police and
Citizens working together to find solutions to making our community
safer.
If you would like more information on this program, or if you
would like to become a Volunteer Park Ranger, contact Debbie
Royal at the Bastrop Police at 321-5550.
