Glenn Heights Police Department

Glenn Heights, Texas, has a police department built around the I-CARE values of integrity, courage, accountability, respect and ethics, and a mission of earning community trust through transparent actions and positive engagement. Its Guardian Program is a free, voluntary registry for residents or local students who may not be able to share basic personal information, or who tend to wander, because of a diagnosed condition such as autism, Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Guardians reapply each year, and the medical and juvenile details are kept from the public and used to help emergency responders reunite families. Under a city traffic calming policy, neighborhoods and homeowners associations can request physical measures to slow drivers, with affected property owners taking part in the process. Homes, apartments, duplexes and mobile homes with burglar alarms need an alarm permit, and residents can request records online. People arrested in the city are taken to the regional jail in DeSoto, and the department posts a list of community resources for food, utility help, shelter and senior housing.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Glenn Heights city, TX has an estimated population of 17,175.
