Putting People First

Keeping Bastrop Safe


Backing the Blue

Does our police department have the resources and training available to de-escalate situations such as aggressive, dangerous behavior, domestic violence or someone experiencing a mental crisis?

Fire

It is critical that we are proactive and not reactive which is costly.

What did we learn from the Bastrop Complex Fires? There is a tool that can be put in place for new development and infill where appropriate.  It's called the Wildlife Urban Interface (WUI).

As 969 expands should a new station be built? When? How will it be funded?

EMS

911 - response time. As the city grows, have we planned to ensure response time is timely. Is there a plan in place to increase staff? Public safety must be an integral part of future growth.
