The first series of community engagement activities have concluded.

Three focus groups were with the Downtown Arts and Entertainment District business owners, students participating in the Thomas Institute of Excellence 'TIE" with Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, and the Glen Meadows Neighborhood Association. During these focus groups, participants described what they believe is going well in the Baytown Police Department and what they would like to see change.

These meetings' responses will be utilized and incorporated into the strategic plan for the Baytown Police Department.

However, if you could not participate in the first series of community engagement activities, there are still ample opportunities available if you would like to participate. If you have ten or more people, you can request a meeting here.

The Baytown Police Strategic Planning Advisory Committee invites you to participate and engage in our upcoming survey.
