Willis Police Department

Around the clock, the Willis Police Department in Montgomery County, Texas, answers emergency and non-emergency calls under a mission of keeping the community safe, protecting constitutional rights, enforcing the law and preserving the peace. The department is organized into patrol, criminal investigations, administration and records. Patrol sergeants and officers work 12-hour shifts with an every-other-weekend rotation, responding to calls, enforcing traffic law, running directed patrols where community concerns and crime data point, and supporting photographic enforcement systems where they are used. Patrol cars carry laptops, officers write electronic citations, and a regional records management system lets them document incidents and share information across jurisdictions. The Criminal Investigations Division, led by a sergeant, follows up on felony cases after the initial report, collects evidence, interviews victims and witnesses, coordinates with partner agencies and helps prosecutors prepare for court. Records staff keep official reports, manage retention schedules and handle Public Information Act requests (Tex. Gov't Code ch. 552), charging under the state attorney general's cost rules, and each body camera recording carries per-recording and per-minute fees. Accident reports and online crime reporting are offered through the website.
