All right. All right. This police department is going to be Weatherford. I'm not going to lie to you. It's a quiet city. I spoke to several people that live here. They said they had little to no crime whatsoever. I didn't even see a police car driving around and I've been here for a few hours. I ain't see nothing. So, we're going to go to the front. There's one uh there's one car that did leave. Um it was an unmarked vehicle. Uh walk around to the front. We going to go to the front. We going to go to the front. This is going to be weather for her. A real real quiet city. I I really this car. Okay. And then across the street you got Parker County Sheriff's Office. Okay. They get everything onetop shop. Oh, this is going to be fun. So, we got Weatherford right here. It don't say police on it, but it do say public safety over here in the top corner, though. That's pretty cool. And then right here, we got Parker County. I'm guessing Parker County definitely sitting right here. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. if we going to walk across the street in a second. Parker County Sheriff Office. Oh, it's nice. So, I'm getting two videos in one. Really? Parker County Sheriff established over here? 1856. Wow. Wow. And also they got a back gate as well that they use to um exit. So let's walk over to Parking County. They got one unmarked vehicle right there getting his car wash. I'm not sure if it's Park County or Weatherford. It's probably Weatherford. I don't know. That's an unmarked vehicle right there. Uh, it look like Parker County constable. Yep. Park County. You got a boyfriend from Cop Park going by right there. My first time seeing I've been here for a few hours. I think I'm here for at least an hour and a half, going two hours. Okay. They have no crime. Park County right there. He's making a turn. It is the unmarked vehicle right here. Park County. So we about to walk car street county. Whoa. Hey. Where the cop at? They fly. They need a They need a crosswalk right here. All right. All right. Cool. So, we got Parker County Sheriff's Office right here. I never I not going to lie to you. I had never seen their cars before. I think it's like my second time being Weatherford in my whole life. They my second time being Weatherford. So, and all the cars are clean, too. Of course. Car wash car street to keep it clean. I'm pretty sure they wash for free. Wow. Look at this. Parker County. Okay. I have never seen a I have never seen a patrol cars. My first time. Okay. Park the county. Wow. Okay. My first time seeing this. Zoom out. Zoom out. They got plenty of cars just sitting here. So, I'm pretty sure they hiring. Pretty sure they hiring. You go the unmarked units. Wow. Parker County Justice Center. They got a lot of patrol cars. They got these unmarked. Then they got even some sitting way over here. That's That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Sheriff Larry Flower Law Enforcement Center. This his he can really say that too. It's his center. It's pretty cool. Sheriff Larry Flower Law Enforcement Center got his name on the building. It don't say Parker County Sheriff office. It says he got his name on the building. Okay. Okay. This bricks don't say nothing on it, though. Okay. Okay. What's up? Go get the bad guys. >> You what? Go get the bad guys. >> Are we going to get the bad guys? >> Uh, no. We just got done. >> Okay. I I never seen Yeah before. >> Yeah. Really? Ever? >> Like you mean just us personally or just our department? >> Department period. >> Oh, this is about my first time me Weatherford and I drove to a police station. I never seen that before. >> Yeah. >> But first time ever seen before. >> Oh yeah. >> First time. My first time I ever seen the um patrol cars like Park County Sheriff on it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So that's Weatherford PD is over there. So but they call it the public safety building because it's the Weatherford PD and the fire department admin building. all together and then we're across the street from the sheriff's office, but we've got the jail, too. >> So, basically when they lock somebody up, they bring them here pretty much. >> Yeah. So, everybody >> Onetop shop. >> Yeah. >> One stop shot. That's >> Yeah. So, the the sheriff in every county in the state of Texas, the sheriff is the one that maintains the jails unless a municipal agency has their own jails. >> Okay. Like Arlington, they own jail. >> So, so Weatherford PD doesn't have their own jail. So, they use ours and so we we take custody of people for them and they >> OneT shop. >> Yeah. So, do you have patrol as well? >> We do the whole search for the whole county. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, the the Weatherford PD does, of course, every jurisdiction is different, right? So, the sheriff is the premier law enforcement agency over the entire county of Parker. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, and then each individual is called a municipality. So, like Weatherford is a municipal district. >> Okay. >> So, they have their own area in which municipal is. So, so the police department itself, so Weatherford PD services the municipality of Weatherford within the within the city limits of Weatherford. >> Then next question, who has mo who who has a high authority? Y'all or Weatherford? >> So, so technically the the actual authority for it would be the sheriff's office. Okay. >> Because they are over the entire county and everything within. But Weatherford PD, which which is a known fact or a little known fact about it, but under Texas law actually any municipal agency can can enforce any law within the jurisdiction of the county that it is. So since weather predict county, they can technically >> have authority >> have authority to do to enforce everything that we could as well. Okay. >> Okay. They just don't because that's just one of those things for the purposes is that Weather the residents of Weatherford specifically paid for taxes to supply for Weatherford PD which means that they're going to be more prone to serve their residents within the municipality. >> Okay. >> It's not saying that they can't but they do but they do. And then that's that whole mutual agency thing where every agency helps everybody out as much as they can, you know, to better serve the citizens. >> I spoke to maybe like three people that live here that live here. They said you have little to no crime and I see why. You got the police over there, the sheriff over here. So, hey, in a smaller city, if they do crime, they probably will get caught right away because so many law enforcement offices like I seen one parked over here like the unmarked and stuff like >> Well, and >> yeah, that's that's pretty cool. >> And there and there's no way to put it like every place is going to have crime. Like we have crime, you know? >> I haven't seen that one police car go by with lights and sirens. I've been for about 2 three hours now. Well, and I mean it it depends, you know, like there's always going to be calls for service and you could see police, fire, and medical going to stuff and it could be as simple as a traffic accident. Okay. >> Because the way that the way that multiple agencies here work is that if let's say is this your vehicle? >> No. No, no, no. >> Okay. So, if you were if you were driving this and you let's say you got into a minor fender bender, right? And you call in and be like and they're they're going to ask you it's like, you know, do you need police, fire, or medical? It's like, oh, I was in a wreck. So, they're going to say, okay, we're going to send police and we're going to send medical. We're going to send fire because we don't know what it is. Do you have any injuries? Oh, I don't know. My neck kind of hurts and we're going to make sure that you're okay, right? Whether because we don't know whether you're really hurt or not, but that's what the medical experts are for. So, they're going to send everybody. So, if you see like Weatherford PD and you see a fire department truck go by and you see an ambulance go by, there's a good chance that they may be going to something serious or then we're going to something as simple as a wreck. But once they get there, they're going to say, "Hey, you know, we're going to check you out, take some vitals. Do you need do you want to go to the hospital?" No, I I think I'm okay. All right. Well, good. just sign here because it says that you don't want to go to the hospital, right? But we were here and at least checked you out and made sure that you were okay. So >> that's pretty cool. >> So just if you see all that, just be aware that it may not be some big deal, you know, but >> it is so quiet. >> I live I can't I'm recording right now, but but they know I live back. I live >> Yeah, >> you can say Arlington. It's so much going on. >> I used to work EMS in Arlington, so I know exactly. >> Non-stop radio calls nonstop. They they working. They don't get a break. They don't get a break. You don't get to break the whole ship. It's crazy. And I And I see them racing left and right, left and right. And if I come here, it's so >> so quiet. It's this this makes good living right here. >> You got to do a good job. You got to do a good job. Weatherford. I don't see I don't see the news of anything here. That's how you know it's a good city. >> That's the goal. >> That's good. That's good. >> And it's like I said there there's different places, different types of crime, you know. >> Uh >> well, um one of the woman, she said, "We got these little kids. They keep tagging the walls. That that that's her um complaint. She said she said, "We got a little crime. We got these kids tagging the walls. They think that's still cool." >> I said, "They kids. They kids." >> And and and like I said, Weatherford's problems are different from what we deal with because we don't know what Weatherford's problems are cuz we don't we're not the ones that respond to the calls for service for the residents of Weatherford, right? So like if you if you if you had a house here in Weatherford, right, and you call the police department or call for 911, they're going to send Weatherford PD. So unless Weatherford PD reaches out to us and says, "Hey, we're all our officers are tied up. Like we need some extra help." Okay. Then then they may call us and say, "Hey, can you provide some mutual assistance and hold this and take care of this until we get there?" >> They have so many cars. It's I realize I seen some departments, they don't have that many cars. Many cars that like you said, they get tied up. They can't call the county or they can't call state troopers. Sometime they could call state troopers, but but y'all right here next to them. immediate assistance >> and and and the equipment and the availability of cars and the amount of patrol officers that we have is directly relevant to the taxpayers that we serve, right? So, it it's it's all dependent about what the public that we serve wants, right? Because if we need more cars or we need more vehicle or we need a higher budget for stuff, that's one of those things that goes through the county commissioner court who who who vote and decide on that for each commissioner and each commissioner has their own precinct. So, they serve the people that are in their precinct, right? And so if they've got a bunch of people in their deal, they voted to do it because he goes, "Hey, I'm here because I want to support law enforcement and I want to give our law enforcement agencies and our medical, you know, agencies and our fire department agencies the stuff they need to respond to help better serve our community and that's what all these people are saying. So that's what I'm going to do when it comes my time to vote for on that budget." That's what they do. So the So the availability of us to have so many patrol cars, great equipment in a place to work like this, that that's all relative to the public that puts it forward. So if that's what the public wants here, that's what they get, >> you know. And if it said what they didn't want, it's the one they wouldn't get. But >> but that's the sheriff right there. >> This? No, no, no, no. >> With the hat on. >> No, no, we all wear hats. We all have cowboy hats. That's part of our policy. So, as our dress code and stuff like that, if it's winter [clears throat] time, one of our policies for dress code is that we can either wear stuff like this, like toboggins when it's cold, or if we do in the winter time, we have to wear what's called a silver belly hat, which is the >> it looks like a silver tan essentially like this, that felt silvered hat because that's what our sheriff wants. Okay? >> And that's our dress code. That's what it is. During the summer, we don't we don't wear bellcats. We wear straw hats. Those are straw cowboy hats. >> That's pretty cool. Hey, look. I don't see on the news. Obviously doing a good job. If you if y on the news for anything crazy, >> no high crime. This this this is a this is a place where where it's Hey, look. I feel safe. >> Well, we [laughter] appreciate I told um the lady home at the gas station, I said, I left my car running. I can't do that. My car might run it. [laughter] My car might not be it. >> Well, we appreciate it. you know, we're we're you know, if this is a place that you like and stuff and you want to move out here, come on. >> It's it's it's pretty good. I ain't going to lie. It's >> I haven't heard no one fire truck um I was on my phone approached with with with with politeness and >> you get a lot of time. That's pretty That's pretty good. >> I have zero complaints. >> Yeah. Well, that's a common misconception. It's like if you if you approach us just like we approach you, we're going to do the same in kind. You know, everybody thinks that oh, police are bad and stuff and and I can't say everybody's got different experiences, you know, and I do I I can't speak for that. But what I can for me personally, >> I'm going to sit here and talk to you just like this. >> It's pretty cool. You a sergeant? Fto? >> Oh, no. I'm I'm a field training officer for him. Yes, sir. But I'm not a sergeant. So, I'm just a regular >> bottom of the pole. FTO bottom of the pole deputy. >> See, but how I knew that though? >> I don't know. >> I don't know. I I got a little experience. >> Got a little experience. >> You had nothing on you say FTO. Nothing. Yeah, >> but how I knew that? >> I don't know. >> I do this every day. >> Perfect. >> I do this every day. >> I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you for talking to y'all. >> Hey, I'm Deputy Grand Right here. >> No problem. >> So, you want to come back and come hang out. >> That's pretty cool. And that's pretty far. Pretty far, but but it's Hey, it's wonderful. I'm just walk around a little bit and I'm gone. >> Look around this. We got beautiful stuff like you're talking about. You got to come visit sometimes. Worth a drive, right? >> It's really nice. I ain't going to lie. It's really really nice. It's really nice. I'm just walking around the perimeter. Cool. But I could I could walk around and >> so I don't know how much of Weatherford you've been which you got to come kind of at night too. But if you're looking for local stuff like we have the downtown area like around the courthouse and stuff, we got little shops and stuff like that on if you ever want. >> It was real busy too. I was I was surprised how much traffic was busy because that's the main thoroughfare that comes through town. >> Okay. >> And that's the only way we got it. So sometimes whenever it's busy like 5:00 traffic, you know, we don't have anything like Dallas, you know, >> I'm going to get out before traffic hits. So, but right down there on the other side of the public safety building and stuff is the downtown park area. >> Okay. And so over there where that is, they've got like a big Christmas tree set up and you know the Christmas light stuff for the town. That's what the city does. So, if you ever wanted to come at night to kind of see that stuff, it's not they've already done like the Christmas annual Christmas party. >> And I I even told on one of the ladies I said I bet you can see the stars at night like really well. Like really well. So the the further you get the further you get east and everything that's of course you're getting close to the Fort Worth Dallas area so there's a lot more lights over there but the further west you go man if you ever if you've never experienced be out to West Texas there's hardly any light pollution out there right >> and so that's one of those places that you go and when it's midnight and there's no moon you can't imagine how many stars you can see you're going to look up in the sky and go I never knew that you could just see that with a naked eye >> see people pay for that >> people pay for that you can't get that in the city you always flashing red and blue lights. Somebody rolled over a car upside down. How did that happen every day, but I I ain't going to lie to you. I seen not one accident. I was surprised. I seen not one car accident coming this way. >> You just you're just lucky. It does happen. It happens, you know. It's just like and and it's nice to see it would be nice to sit here and say that that kind of thing doesn't happen here, but that's not the truth. The truth is is that it's just like any other place that we do have crime. We do have incidents. We just handle them differently than some other agencies. And we have a we we have deals that we deal with as best as we can and we just hope for the best outcome, you know. Yeah. >> So, at the end of the day, it's about serving everybody, you know. >> It's pretty cool. And all the cars was clean. Like >> cuz the car wash right there. Car wash right there. But but all the cars are clean. >> Like all the white cars are clean white. >> Well, they're white, so they're going to show dirt really easily. >> But it's clean. Like I walked through I walked through. I looked at them. It's clean. It's clean. And they're all brand new, too. >> Yeah. >> They're all brand new. I haven't seen that one. Well, mine's a 2023, which is relatively new, but you got to remember we put it in a county, right? Like, so like cars like for the city and stuff like that, their square area that they cover >> is relatively small. Okay? >> Right? So the county of Parker is like 9 and it's not perfect, but it's like 950 or something square miles. Okay? >> Right. Of land that we have to cover. And so when we're responding for calls to service, right? Like we may be all the way on the north side, which is Poolville or Wit. There's a town up there called Wit. We may be somewhere all the way out there for a call for service. Do they have their own police or No. Wait, >> wait. Do they have their own police or No. >> No. No. No. >> So So y'all do all the calls? >> Yeah. So it's an unincorporated city essentially or or town we could say. So they don't they don't have anything like their own fire service. They don't have anything like their own police department. So they're within the county. They're county residents. So we serve them. Okay. So we may go from here all the way out there. Yeah. And go 50 something miles, which is not, but 35 something miles all the way to the tip top of the corner. Then our next call after we leave that may be on the other side down here by 20 cuz that's a part of our district. >> Okay. And then we may go from there all the way. So covering across we put up miles. So usually like I've had my vehicle for roughly right around two years and I got about 60,000 miles on it. So when we get when our vehicles get to about 100 to 120 anywhere in that range, they try to rotate them and because it saves us more money in the long run because we sell it off at auction. >> Get a better price for it, right? And then it returns and goes back into the budget to be used to apply towards new. >> Absolutely. I >> So I ain't going to lie. Sh know what he doing. >> Yeah, >> he know what he doing. I ain't going to I ain't lying. Some departments they still got I I've been I've been I've been to a lot of different cities, a lot of different states. Some departments got old cars. I mean I mean it's really good though. >> And again that goes to a reflection of the tax base that we have and the and the and the voters and everybody that's here, you know, it's if they put up bonds and they put up deals and they're they're going and they vote for that kind of stuff. And not only that, but if they go and they turn around and they're like, "Hey, we want public safety as our number one priority in this county or for our residents." and they tell the commission and the commissioner's like my number one priority for my residents public safety. So the sheriff's office needs better vehicles or they're asking for more vehicles to provide that. That's something we're going to vote for and give us. And so like I said, just everything that you see is a reflection of the people that live here in Parker County for us because it it's that's what they want. That's what we try to provide them. And guess what? >> And we're all on taxpayer dollars. I get to pay with taxpayer dollars. They pay for all this stuff. We take care of it. >> Yeah. That's that's good. And I bet they have no so far I've heard no complaints. I have heard no complaints from I spoke to several people. Well, and and it just comes down to being a good human, right? Like, so if you if I borrowed your vehicle or you're letting me borrow your vehicle, am I going to go run it through a mud hole, tear it up, do donuts, and all that kind of stuff in it because it's yours and you're allowing me to borrow it? It's the same way to view for taxpayers, right? Like, this is their stuff. They provide it through taxpayers and myself included cuz I live in the county. Yeah. >> Right. So, it's that stuff. So, I treat it just as good, if not better, than my own because it's really not mine. It's theirs. And if they're going to provide me with the opportunity to have a nice vehicle, I'm going to take care of it. Because if not, then what's going to happen is they're going to say, "But you're going to treat it like trash. You can have a trash vehicle, right?" So, same thing for everything else. Just being a decent human and taking care of stuff that's given to you. >> Well, that's good. >> It's not hard. >> That's good. That's Oh. Um, >> how many inmates can you hold? >> Uh, I don't know what the actual capacity is. So, we have the jail, but it is the the sheriff's office actually does it under contract for a jail company. Okay. >> That runs it. Right. So, but I think our current burn capacity I want to say is >> and don't don't quote me on this, but it's like 300 >> roughly maybe somewhere in there. >> So, it it's that's what it is. But >> just >> we already have so many inmates that come here because not only the stuff that we arrest the weather for PD arrest because Hudson Oaks, Willow Park out there is Parker, too. >> They also Yes, it is in Parker, but they also bring their inmates here cuz they don't have a jail. >> Okay. So, we're housing inmates for other municipalities such as Weatherford, such as Hudson, such as Willow Park. >> Okay. Cuz those are the other these are the other those are the other three law enforcement agencies that operate within the county. >> Also, Reno PD which is up north. >> Okay. >> Springtown has their own which they house like temporarily for minor stuff but other stuff they bring here too. >> Is Ail Parker? >> So, Ail, the municipality of Ail resides in Parker County and Tar County. Oh, wow. So, it's split between the two counties. So, it's actually in both. So AOE PD has their own jail that they temporarily hold and then they transport to another facility. They don't Asil doesn't transport here. >> Okay. >> To hold their inmates, but Springtown and Reno PD both are up there and they do theirs as well. So >> that they got a lot of work on your hands. >> We do. >> That stay busy. Y'all stay busy. >> The jail does everybody else have to deal with the jail does stay busy. So it it's one of those things that we do have enough inmates between all of it that we actually are in need of a bigger jail. >> Okay. So, and it's because we need more housing because at some point, right, when a when a jail has overpopulation, we can't just turn people loose. >> No, we have to hold them at least long enough to do arraignment before they can get out on bond or do whatever they have to do. >> So, for those that can post bond or don't need to be bonded out and stuff like that, they take priority. And if we absolutely have everybody or every bunk in here filled with somebody who is priority and has to stay until trial, we have to still hold them, right? cuz if they get no bond or something like that because of a serious crime. So we can't start doubling so many people up and be over capacity. So we have to transport them and contract out to another jail like Tarant County or another deal and say, "Hey, we're so full. We're going to pay you this much." And so it ends up costing taxpayers money more money to transport them out. >> So you need a big a bigger jail. >> Yeah. So we're in need of a bigger jail. Okay. um specifically for that reason because if we could add another 300 something beds that would actually in the long run it would cost initially money upfront of course for the construction and everything else but I think currently I want to say like we're paying1 to $3 million every year just to house inmates elsewhere >> so I guess >> and that's and that's not even a large amount of inmates that's just the few that we've had to send out that's what it costs and I don't know what the cost is price per day for inmate but >> so I'm guessing that in a bigger jail save money in the long run Yeah. >> And also they hire more have more jobs available. >> Yeah. I mean it's always great because you know local people around the area serve the jail. So anytime a government agency or anytime any government agency builds something that requires people to work most of the time they come from >> the county which they live in. It provides more jobs as well in the long run for for a few. It doesn't solve everybody's problems you know but but it it does provide jobs. >> That's pretty cool. So I ain't going to lie. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Great department. Great great Weatherford Park County. Great department. I really I really have no complaints. >> Good, man. >> No complaints. And no complaints. And I've been to a lot of I've been a lot of apartments. By the way, USA Copwatch. USA Copwatch on YouTube. You going to see a lot of videos. A lot of different cops. Lot of different things. >> Is that what it's called? >> USA Copw. >> Is it your channel? >> Yeah, it's my channel. >> Okay, cool. Okay. I have to go take a look at >> USA Copwatch. Copwatch. Appreciate it. Thank you, man. Be safe. Drive safe. >> Thank you, man. Thank you. Thank you, man. Take care.
