D. Green Tree Estates Follow Up – During the Green Tree Estates discussion at the
City Council meeting, staff was asked whether the property was already platted prior
to being annexed by the City. Attached is the original plat recorded in 1970 prior
to the property being annexed in 2013. Staff also researched the sections of the
Annexation Agreement which outline the water infrastructure and services. Those
sections are highlighted in the attached document and included below:
IV. ENTERPRISE ACTIVITY (UTILITY CUSTOMER) SERVICES
C. Water Facilities – Except as provided in Section V. The proposed annexation
areas are within the City of Denton Water Service Area as defined by Certificate of
Convenience and Necessity (CCN) Number 10195 as issued by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Connections to existing City of
Denton water distribution mains for water service will be provided in accordance
with existing City ordinances and policies. Upon connection to existing distribution
mains, water service will be provided at rates established by city ordinance. As new
development occurs within these areas, water distribution mains will be extended in
accordance with Denton's Codes, ordinances and utility service policies. City
participation in the costs of these extensions shall be in accordance with Denton's
codes and ordinances. Water service capacity shall be provided consistent with the
characteristics of topography, land use and population density of the area. Operation
and maintenance of water facilities in the annexed area that are within the service
area of another water utility will be the responsibility of that utility. Existing
developments, businesses or homes that are on individual water wells or private
water systems will be allowed to continue to remain on these systems until a request
for water service is made to the City. These requests for service will be handled in
accordance with the applicable utility service line extension and connection policies
V. ADDITIONAL SERVICES
I. Water service to Green Tree Estates Subdivision – The Green Tree Estates has
an existing community water system serving this subdivision that is currently listed
under the TCEQ Public Water System database as an inactive system. Prior to the
city considering offering water service to this system, the owners of this community
2
water system must register this water system with the TCEQ as an active public
water system and must obtain compliance with current TCEQ regulations for Public
Water Systems (Chapter 30 TAC 290).After compliance with the above referenced
section, the city will offer water supply through an air gap into the Green Tree
Estates Public Water Supply System's ground storage tank through a water tap and
meter to be installed at a point of connection to the city's existing water distribution
system a point to be determined in the future. The owner of the Green Tree Estates
Public Water Supply System shall provide the city with adequate well pumping
records to determine the appropriate water meter size, tap size, and associated water
impact fees. The owner of the Green Tree Estates Public Water System will be
responsible for paying the tap fees, meter set fees and water impact fees necessary
to provide this water supply as well as the cost to extend the private water service
line from the point of metering and the ground storage tank within the Green Tree
Estates public Water System. This private water service line shall be located within
a 10 foot wide private water service line easement provided by the owners of the
Green Tree Estates Pubic Water System.
Staff contact: Kenneth Banks, Utilities Administration
E. Green Tree Estates Handouts – At the November 12 City Council meeting, the
Council heard from several members of the community that advocated on behalf of
the residents at Green Tree Estates. One of the residents handed out pictures and
letters created by the children that live in the neighborhood. Staff has scanned the
documents and have attached them to this report. Staff contact: Mario Canizares,
City Manager’s Office
F. TATOA Awards – On November 7, the City of Denton and DTV won 6
programming awards at the Texas Association of Telecommunications Officers and
Advisors (TATOA) Annual Programming Ceremony. These annual awards
recognize excellence in programming produced by local government agencies from
across Texas. The City of Denton competes at the highest level against cities such
as Austin and San Antonio. The City distinguished itself in video production by
winning two 2nd place awards and four 3rd place awards, notably for our recent Fire
Department, Original Denton District, Made in Denton, and other videos and
programming. A complete list of all the categories and winners can be found here.
Staff contact: Billy Matthews, Public Affairs/DTV
G. Motion for Reconsideration Clarification – On September 24, 2019, a City Council
Work Session discussion was held to review potential Rules of Procedure and Code
of Ordinances revisions that the City Council has contemplated over the past year.
During that discussion, City Council requested clarification on if a motion for
reconsideration could be made during the same meeting that an initial vote was
made. Under the current Motion for Reconsideration ordinance, Council Members
may make a motion to reconsider during the same meeting where the item was
considered. However, actual reconsideration must occur at a later date, to comply
with the Texas Open Meetings Act (TOMA). In an effort to further avoid potential
TOMA violations that could result from a motion for reconsideration not being
posted, staff is developing a blanket notice that will be posted on all future City
Council agendas stating that any item can be subject to a motion for reconsideration
at any time during the meeting.
3
Staff will distribute an Informal Staff Report outlining next steps for all Rules of
Procedure and Code of Ordinances revisions that were requested during the
September 24 work session in the November 22 Friday Report. The current plan is
to have all requested revisions considered by the end of the calendar year. Staff
contact: Rachel Wood, Development Services/Stephanie Neal, City Attorney’s
Office
H. Police Department Updates – The Denton Police Department has provided updates
to City Management on items that the department is currently addressing. Please see
the attached memo from Chief Dixon outlining the department’s status in
addressing homelessness, staffing and training, marijuana enforcement,
misdemeanor citations, and the Law Enforcement Immigration Task Force. Staff
contact: Frank Dixon, Police
I. Concrete batch plant and temporary construction trailers for the Teasley Lane
expansion (TXDOT) – Zachry Construction Corporation has been engaged by the
Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) to complete the ongoing
improvements for Teasley Lane. In order to facilitate the operation, Zachry will
install a concrete batch plant on a 9.7-acre tract located west of Teasley Lane,
approximately 207 feet north of Ryan Road. The proposed facility will also include
two construction trailers and has been reviewed for compliance with the City’s
standards. TXDOT has agreed to forward copies of the site’s Storm Water
Prevention Plan, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, and
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Standard Permitting
Exemption Letter, other permitting requirements to the City. The equipment for the
batch plant is being relocated from a different site; therefore, the contractor will
obtain the required TCEQ Letter once the batch plant is fully disassembled from its
current location. The facility is expected to be installed in November 2019 and
remain in place for the duration of the Teasley Lane construction. Staff contact: Julie
Wyatt, Development Services
J. TULIP Policies – On October 29, Council Member Armintor asked whether the
Civic Center could have its own insurance policy for outside organizations to use if
they cannot afford the other insurance policies available. The Parks and Recreation
Department is working with Risk Management in reviewing the feasibility of
providing a Tenant User Liability Insurance Program (TULIP) for events held on
City property. TULIP policies are one-time insurance policies that provide general
liability coverage to third party users for an event. It protects both the user and the
facility against claims by guests/attendees who may be injured, or suffer damages,
as a result of attending an event.
The City requires any event open to the public and held on City property to provide
insurance coverage for the event. Additional insurance requirements apply if the
event includes alcohol. Currently, an event organizer can cover their event under an
existing policy by adding the City as an Additional Insured, or the organizer can
obtain a single event policy through a private insurer. TULIP policies offered by the
City would provide event organizers with another insurance option that could be
incorporated into the rental or special event process. The cost for a TULIP policy
4
would be based on the number of days for the event, the type of event, the estimated
attendance, and whether alcohol will be available.
Staff is awaiting a proposal from the insurance provider outlining TULIP policy
options and costs. The annual cost to provide this service will depend on the number
and types of events, but there is a minimum premium of $1,000 a year. However,
the cost for the TULIP will be recovered through the sale of policies. Additional
information on the policy and price structure, along with the next steps, will be
shared with City Council once the information is received. Staff contact: Laura
Behrens, Parks and Recreation
K. North South Water Main Phase II Update – S. Bonnie Brae Street from Highland
Park Road to Willowwood Street is now reopened to traffic. The temporary closure
allowed crews to safely install a casing pipe across the railroad right-of-way for a
42" diameter water main that helps increase our water system's capacity and
reliability to our residents south of I-35. The new water main extends along Bonnie
Brae Street from Roselawn Drive to I-35. As construction continues in the area,
Bonnie Brae Street from Roselawn Drive to Corbin Road will remain temporarily
closed to thru traffic (see attached detour map). There will be additional road
closures associated with this project, however they are expected to be of shorter
durations. Motorists are reminded to use caution and adhere to all posted traffic
control and speed limits signage. Staff contact: Jim Jenks, Capital Projects
L. Parks and Recreation Thanksgiving Closings – North Lakes Rec Center, Denia Rec
Center, MLK Jr. Rec Center, Denton Civic Center, Denton Senior Center, ALH
Senior Center, North Lakes Driving Range, Denton Natatorium, and Goldfield
Tennis Center will all be closed Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29
for the Thanksgiving holiday. Notices will be posted at each facility, and the
closures will be advertised through social media. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks
and Recreation
M. Valet Solid Waste Service Program Update – Beginning early in September, Solid
Waste and Recycling began implementing valet trash and recycling collection
service throughout the Industrial Street and Mews streets areas in Downtown. Over
the last three months, crews have worked diligently to assess waste practices, set
carts, and create and implement a customized service schedule to meet customers’
needs. With few exceptions, owners, managers, and patrons are happy and excited
about the results of a cleaner Downtown Denton.
Currently, staff is working in the Fry Street (Phase 6) shared dumpster service area
to implement a valet-based service, and are running into issues, which will delay
cart placement and service implementation in that area. One issue is that property
ownership and business placement along Fry St. are such that storing and
transporting carts would result in a trespass across private property. Similarly, the
characteristics and timing of Fry St. business waste generation and placement is
significantly different than that of the businesses in the Square and will potentially
impact the ability to service this area in a manner that is consistent with the rest of
the valet service area. There remain too many variables in play for staff to
5
confidently remove the existing dumpsters and place carts for service and ensure the
success in this area as we have realized within the first five phases.
As a result, final implementation in the Fry Street area, which was originally
scheduled for November 18, will be delayed until December 2. This is still within
our originally conceptualized implementation window. Staff will maintain
communication with the Fry Street businesses and reset the expectation for full
program roll out. Staff Contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste and Recycling
Department
N. City Hall Sign Concept – Over the last year, City Council has asked staff about
getting a new monument sign in front of City Hall. Since then, Parks and Recreation
have been working with Development Services to create a concept that would tie
together the new citywide, wayfinding signage and the historical elements of City
Hall into the idea.
Staff utilized the sign located at the Cedar Street parking lot as the template for the
design using the same color and outline. In addition, staff incorporated the brick
from City Hall and the fossilized limestone from the County Courthouse to fuse
history with prominent, local design.
An application has been submitted for a Certification of Appropriateness (COA) to
the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) for their review and consideration on
December 9. Staff originally presented to the HLC on October 14 to gain feedback
and direction. Using that feedback, staff moved forward to create this concept. If the
COA is approved, staff will move forward with acquiring quotes and moving
forward to construction.
The park system would also use this design concept. A hierarchy of designs will
represent the significance of the park. For instance, a city park would receive a sign
like City Hall, and a neighborhood park would have a smaller sign without the pylon.
Please see the concept design below. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and
Recreation; Ron Menguita, Development Services

V. ADDITIONAL SERVICES
A. Non -Annexation Agreements - The City has agreed to offer Non-Annexation
Agreements to eligible property owners in DH-9 for a term to last seven years.
Eligible property owners are those individuals who currently receive an
agricultural property tax exemption on their property. From the effective date of
the annexation, currently projected as May, 2013, the seven year Nan-Annexation
Agreement will extend the time period for non-annexation to 2020.
B. Pedestrian Path - Pending the receipt of right-of-way or a pedestrian access
easement, the City agrees to construct a pedestrian path on the east side of
Swisher from Edwards Road south to the Pecan Creek Elementary School. In
designing the pathway, the City shall seek to utilize the most reasonable
alignment to provide safe access to the school along Swisher and to minimize the
impact on existing trees,

C. Traffic Calming Devices - The City is agreeing to install traffic calming devices
along the frontage of school property on Swisher Road until the pending Edwards
road extension is complete and functional for a period of one year or as
determined necessary.
D. Private Water Service Tap - Within two years from date of annexation, the City
will allow one to four water taps to be permitted for residential service from the
closest tap point at Capetown Road. The Grimes family will be required to grant a
20 foot easement across the southern boundary of their property (running east to
west). The Grimes Family will be responsible for tap and impact fees for each of
the requested water taps as well as the cost to run their individual private service
lines from each residential structure connected to the city's water system. The
Grimes Family will also provide a 10 foot wide private water service line
easement between the city's water meter or meters for each private service line
that is extended between the proposed point of connection at Capetown Road to
cover each private water service line extended to connect each single family home
on the Grimes Property. The city will require a customer service inspection for
each home connected to the city's water system as required by state law. Each
water tap and meter will provide water service to one single family residential
structure and must be physically and permanently removed from the private well
system that serves the adjacent home on the Grimes property. The city reserves
the right to discontinue service from any water meter if it is discovered that the
water supplied through this meter is subsequently extended to serve more than
one single family home, in violation of the TCEQ's one residential home, one
meter requirements and/or the City's metering, cross connection control
ordinance and service policies.
E. Wastewater line Extension along Shiloh and Swisher - City will design and
construct these sewer lines including all taps from the sewer main up to the
private property line. The total project will include survey, design, construction,
staking, installation of the sewer main and taps, and testing and inspection during
construction. City will enter into an agreement to extend these sewer lines based
on the following provisions:
1. The cost per single family connection to the City sewer main will be based
on the following:
If a minimum of 80 percent of the lots connect to the sewer main then per
connection charge will be $5,300 plus the $1,700 impact fee, for a total
charge of $7,000.
6
31
If a minimum of 70 percent and less than 80 percent of the lots connect to
the sewer main then per connection charge will be $6,300 plus the $1,700
impact fee, for a total charge of $8,000.
If a minimum of 60 percent and less than 70 percent of the lots connect to
the sewer main then per connection charge will be $7,500 plus the $1,700
impact fee, for a total charge of $9,200.
If a minimum of 50 percent and less than 60 percent of the lots connect to
the sewer main then per connection charge will be $9,300 plus the $1,700
impact fee, for a total charge of $11,000.
2. City will establish a Pro-Rata Agreement to recoup the cost of the sewer line
in the future from the lots that initially do not tie to the City sewer line. This
pro rata cost will be based on the frontage of each lot and will be either sixty
60) percent or one hundred (100) percent of the per foot cost of sewer line
installation.
3. Any easements needed from private property to construct the public sewer
system must be donated by the property owner to the City at no cost to the
City.
4. Homeowners are responsible for the rerouting of the private lateral sewer
within their property to connect to the sewer tap at their property line.
5. City will extend this offer for extension of the sewer lines for a period of
three years from the date of execution of the annexation.
F. Grant Funding Opportunities for Wastewater Service an Swisher, Shiloh
and Pockrus Page Roads - The City agrees to seek grant funding opportunities
to fund the wastewater services as described below.
1. The City agrees to aggressively pursue alternate funding options for the benefit
of the property owners currently being served by the City of Denton water
supply along Pockrus Page, Swisher, and Shiloh Roads, that may be available
through the Community Development Block Grant, the RCAP program or
ANY other grant program that may be available to the City of Denton officials,
that would effectively provide a sewer line that parallels the existing City of
Denton water line on the above mentioned three roads.
2. The City agrees to pay 100% of the costs of the off-site sewer line beyond the
frontage of the last property up to the connection with the existing City sewer,
7
32
in the event the Grant dollars do not cover the entire costs of the wastewater
pipeline system.
3. The City will assign a contact department official and phone number for full
disclosure and updates regarding the Grant process.
4. Payment of wastewater Impact fees if not covered by the Grant funding will be
the responsibility of the property owner.
G. No Parking Signage on Edwards Road In accordance with the City of Denton
Municipal Code Section 18-93, the City will evaluate the feasibility of
establishing parking restrictions along the section of Edwards Road from Desert
Willow Road to Lakeview Boulevard. This may include the area being stripped
with a broken yellow centerline pavement marking in accordance with City
standards such that the north side of the Edwards Road is to have an 8-foot wide
on-street parking area and the remainder of the street width evenly divided for
both directions of travel. Associated parking restriction signs may be included
utilizing City standards for such signage.
H. Future Access to Water and Wastewater Lines - As development occurs in
DH-9, water and wastewater mains will be extended in accordance with the
provisions of the City's codes, ordinances and regulations. City participation in
the costs of these extensions shall be in. accordance with Denton's codes and
ordinances as described in IV.B and IV.C.
Such future development activity will expand the infrastructure network in DH-9
and provide additional opportunities for current property owners to have access to
complete extensions or connect to existing water or sewer lines following
established City policy. An example of an area likely to benefit from future
development is the property along Pockrus Page Road.
I.Water service to Green Tree Estates Subdivision - The Green Tree Estates has
an existing community water system serving this subdivision that is currently
listed under the TCEQ Public Water System database as an inactive system. Prior
to the city considering offering water service to this system, the owners of this
community water system must register this water system with the TCEQ as an
active public water system and must obtain compliance with current TCEQ
regulations for Public Water Systems (Chapter 30 TAC 290). After compliance
with the above referenced section, the city will offer water supply through an air
gap into the Green Tree Estates Public Water Supply System's ground storage
tank through a water tap and meter to be installed at a point of connection to the

I
Ii city's existing water distribution system a point to be determined in
the future.The owner of the Green Tree Estates Public Water Supply System
shall provide the city with adequate well pumping records to determine the
appropriate water meter size, tap size, and associated water impact fees. The owner of
the Green Tree Estates Public Water System will be responsible for paying the
tap fees,meter set fees and water impact fees necessary to provide this water
supply as well as the cost to extend the private water service line from the point
of metering and the ground storage tank within the Green Tree Estates public
Water System.This private water service line shall be located within a 10 foot wide
private water service line easement provided by the owners of the Green Tree
Estates Pubic
Water System,VI. UNIFORM LEVEL OF SERVICES IS
NOT REQUIRED Nothing in this plan shall require the City of Denton to provide a uniform level of
full municipal services to each area of the City, including the annexed area, if different
characteristics of topography, land use, and population density are considered a sufficient basis
for providing different levels
of service.
VII. TERM This service plats shall be valid for a term of ten (10) years. Renewal of the service plan
shall be at the discretion of
City Council.
VIII. AMENDMENTS The service plan may be amended if the City Council determines at a public hearing
that changed conditions or subsequent occurrences make this service plan unworkable or obsolete.
The City Council may amend the service plan to conform to the changed conditions
or subsequent occurrences pursuant to Texas Local Government Code, Section
43.

Denton Police Department
Office of the Chief of Police
TO: Todd Hileman, City Manager
Aaron Leal, City Attorney
FROM: Frank Dixon, Chief of Police
DATE: November 15, 2019
SUBJECT: Denton Police Department Update
Mr. Manager,
I wanted to take some time to update you on items that the Denton Police Department is
currently addressing. I am incredibly honored and humbled to serve the Denton community
as the Chief of Police and am excited about the future.
Homelessness
As we continue to interact and assist individuals experiencing homelessness, it is important
that the Denton Police Department continue and expand our work to better serve these
individuals and our community. In the furtherance of this, I am assigning two police
officers to work exclusively on homelessness and the other factors surrounding it,
specifically mental health. As we know, homelessness, mental illness, substance abuse,
and PTSD all intersect in some manner. From those who carry lifelong trauma with them,
to our veterans who answered the call of service in the military, to those suffering from
mental illness, our unhoused community is more diverse now than ever before. These
officers will work on continuing to partner with internal City of Denton and external
stakeholders to provide wrap-around service to identify and address those factors that
individually cause someone to experience homelessness.
Additionally, the Downtown area, which was previously known as “District 5,” covering
the square, down to the Fry Street area, will now be its own area command, being led by
Lieutenant Preston Pohler. Lt. Pohler will be responsible for leading two patrol shifts
consisting of 2 sergeants and 10 officers, as well as the new Special Events Officer Sarah

Keith, and Special Projects sergeant to be named. Officer Keith will work exclusively on
special events in our city, with Denton Fire Department, Parks, and other city staff. She
will also be responsible for creating Incident Command Systems operations plans for each
event, and mirroring those with the City of Denton’s emergency management plans with
Michael Pentaluna.
Special Projects Sergeant
The Special Projects sergeant mentioned above will focus the next year on being trained in
and creating a new Crowd Management Team for DPD. This includes updated training on
Mobile Field Force, new equipment, the implementation of police bikes in crowd control,
and strategic planning to support the many events that we have downtown around the
square. Our ability to proactively meet and work with any entity who wishes to hold a rally,
protest, or any other expression of their First Amendment Rights will directly assist DPD
in keeping everyone safe. Our stance as an agency is to protect everyone’s right to express
their First Amendment rights, if there is no damage to property or violence. I have found
that having a direct dialogue with groups prior to the date, and explaining what acceptable
behavior is, and explicitly what will not be tolerated, is crucial in this mission.
The sergeant will also work with our Training Unit to refine and improve our mental illness
training for our officers. Far too many times in our society when someone goes into a
mental health crisis, tragic interactions with law enforcement occur. It is a priority for me
to have our first two full-time Homeless Outreach Team officers trained as mental health
peace officers, and continually expanding that training throughout our agency over the next
year to two years. It is important to note that to date, all Denton Police offi cers have the
minimum required mental health training for Texas peace officers, but we want to go above
and beyond what is mandated for our community and our police officers.
Improved Training
As I have spoken about several times over the last two years, DPD is continually looking
for ways to increase our organizational excellence by seeking professional training. In the
last year, we have had two separate training on interactions with community members who
are Autistic, Animal Cruelty training, and Strangulation training with our partners at the
International Association of Chiefs of Police. In this next year, we will finalize a formal
training plan for our agency, most notably bringing implicit bias training, sexual
harassment/hostile work environment to our agency, along with leadership training in
partnership with the Dallas office of the Anti-Defamation League.

Marijuana Enforcement
As you all know, the passage of HB1325 on June 10, 2019, sets a new standard for the
identification of Marijuana in criminal cases. Now, prior to prosecution, individual law
enforcement agencies are required to pay for testing to establish that the suspected
Marijuana has THC levels of .03 or higher. This new requirement has led to some
challenges for law enforcement. Most notably, there is only one private lab in our state who
has the technology available to test suspected marijuana. The cost associated with it begins
at $90 and can cost hundreds of dollars, depending on the case. This cost prohibition has
led me to hold several meetings with our Assistant City Attorney Berry and Judge Fox. I
have given direction to DPD to continue the enforcement of marijuana, but to write drug
paraphernalia citations for any case where the amount of Marijuana equals one ounce or
less. The District Attorney has publicly said that they will pay for the testing of felony level
cases, (over four ounces) but it is the responsibility of each agency to pay for all
misdemeanor cases. It is important to note that DPD does not specifically target marijuana
enforcement, but it is equally important to understand that four violent home invasion
robberies, and our last homicide were directly related to the illicit sales of Marijuana. In
the homicide, for example, the amount of marijuana being sold was two ounces, which
would have been a “minor” misdemeanor class B offense.
Additionally, placing moratoriums or having strict black and white policies on the
enforcement of Marijuana will have a direct impact on policing our city. Many times,
higher level criminal offenses are discovered during a traffic stop where the smell of
marijuana is present. While officers will need to articulate the smell, training, and
experience in developing probable cause now, the discovery of stolen items, fruits of a
crime (robbery, homicide, kidnapping, sexual assault), and weapons cannot be discounted.
We will continue to monitor and address any challenges to the enforcement of marijuana
and will adjust as appropriate. For a frame of reference, DPD has not submitted any
marijuana for testing since the inception of the new legislation. Just this past week, one of
our Student Resource Officers (SRO’s) issued a citation in lieu of arrest, when a student
was found to have been in possession of marijuana on campus. A secondary concern is
there are at least six other law enforcement agencies working in the City of Denton. They
include UNTPD, TWU Department of Public Safety, TX DPS, Denton County Sheriff’s
Office, NCTC PD, and TABC, who all have enforcement power on Marijuana arrests.

Misdemeanor Citations
I have brought to Judge Fox and Assistant City Attorney Berry a plan to implement the
issuance of Field Release Citations for certain Class A, B, and C Misdemeanor offenses,
allowable by the Code of Criminal Procedure. When someone is arrested for certain
offenses and they meet certain criteria, they will be eligible to be issued a citation in lieu
of arrests. This will allow our police officers to stay available and on the street for more
proactive policing, relationship building, but will also allow us as a community to work
with our City and District Attorney Offices to send cases to diversion, offering
rehabilitation instead of incarceration. This is not a “one size fits all” program, but it has
shown a great deal of success in other cities when applied correctly and appropriately.
Law Enforcement Immigration Task Force (LEITF)
I am currently serving on the national Law Enforcement Immigration Task Force, which is
comprised of 132 Chiefs of Police and Sheriffs from across our country. We collectively
come together to provide a non-partisan, common sense approach to public safety, while
balancing safety with immigration enforcement. As I have previously stated, DPD will not
assist in the arrest or detention of anyone because of their immigration status. We are
charged with and will continue to enforce criminal law to keep our community safe,
because when immigrants feel safe in their community, we are all safer. As we enter 2020
and the election cycle, we will continue to keep non-partisan, strictly public safety centric
stance when it comes to immigration enforcement. We do not want our immigrant
community, no matter what country they come from, to fear coming forward and reporting
a crime. Whether they are victims of crime or a witness of a crime, that is detrimental to
the safety of our community.
As always, please feel free to reach out directly if you would like to meet and discuss any
issues facing law enforcement in our wonderfully diverse community. I look forward to
continuing to work alongside you in keeping Denton safe and sustainable for everyone.
With Gratitude and Respect,
Frank
