Morgan's Point Resort Police Department

Morgan's Point Resort police in Bell County, Texas, work twelve-hour shifts to stay on duty around the clock, with calls dispatched by the Bell County Communications Center. Many patrol officers are also certified by the state health department (DSHS) as emergency care attendants, EMTs or paramedics, which lets them begin life-saving care at scenes that fire or EMS crews cannot yet enter, and they train alongside the city's fire department. Patrol handles disturbances, motorist assists, traffic complaints and enforcement, and it deploys a speed monitoring trailer on streets where speeding is reported. A dedicated investigator collects and preserves evidence, follows up on criminal cases and files charges with local prosecutors. Licensed Texas peace officers can volunteer through the Reserve Officer Program, giving at least 16 hours a month and helping at the Halloween festival, the holiday gathering and National Night Out, which the department hosts as a citywide event each fall. Residents can ask for a house watch while traveling, request closer patrol in special situations, apply for a ride-along, file some reports online and register pets each year through the department's animal control officer, whose work aims to keep rabies out of the community.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Morgan's Point Resort city, TX has an estimated population of 4,709.
