BLACK HISTORY MONTH COBRA TRAINING DAY
PFLUGERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT COLLABORATION
Senior Deputy Joey Segovia and Sergeant Andy Viruette were commended by Pflugerville Police Chief Jessica Robledo for their involvement in a partnership with Pflugerville PD. Our agencies often interact with each other as we respond to emergency calls. These deputies are part of a new initiative that enables officers to exchange intelligence information 24/7. The collaborative efforts have revealed patterns of criminal activity, which led to effective patrols and surveillance, which in turn, led to arrests.
MESSAGE FROM SHERIFF HERNANDEZ
Have you heard the term Community Policing? It’s the notion that keeping communities safe requires more than just a law enforcement agency; it requires a community working together, bonded by their common interests. I believe in it and at TCSO, we work hard to establish and nurture these relationships. During this month, community policing showed its value in several tangible ways. You’ll be able to read more about them in this issue. Travis County residents were alarmed to learn of an aggravated home invasion robbery that took place in daylight hours on February 11th. As detectives conducted their investiga-tion, they were assisted by neighbors who were generous with information about their neighborhood and things that might have been out of the ordinary. They offered surveil-lance footage from their camera systems in the hopes it might assist us; local businesses did the same. Equipped with good witness testimony and video footage of the area, detectives were able to determine a timeline of events and identify a suspect. An arrest was made six days after the incident. This is teamwork at its best! On February 12th, we invited residents in the unincorpo-rated areas of Pflugerville to meet with us and talk about recent property crime in their area. We talked about the calls for service we’ve responded to lately and listened
to residents’ observations and concerns. Knowing what they’re experiencing helps us provide better service. Sharing trends we’ve observed in their area helps them protect their property and maintain their neighborhood safety and quality of life. I’m proud of the efforts of several deputies who were recognized by Pflugerville Police Chief Jessica Robledo for working with their department, sharing information in an effort to fight crime. Community Policing is something we do with neighborhoods and with our law enforcement colleagues as well. Criminals don’t confine their activities to a specific jurisdiction. Our united efforts with fellow agencies make us more effective and keep Travis County one of the greatest places to live.
