On Tuesday, Oct. 7, communities across Texas observed National Night Out by hosting neighborhood parties, turning on front porch lights, meeting with their local police officers and taking a positive stance against crime.National Night Out was introduced in 1984 to promote involvement in crime prevention, police-community partnerships and to send a message that neighborhoods are fighting back. National Night Out culminates annually in Texas on the first Tuesday of October. (http://natw.org/about).
This year the Town of Double Oak hosted its third National Night Out event at John B. Wright memorial park with bounce houses, a professional police dispatcher and 9-1-1 simulator for the kids to practice calls, Double Oak Police equipment on display and a visit from Sheriff Will Travis and constables from Denton County Precinct 4. Hamburgers, hot dogs and drinks were provided courtesy of volunteer team members from Target.
We are welcoming the return of former reserve Cody Leinweber as a full-time police officer. Officer Leinweber grew up in Flower Mound and was a police explorer with us during high school. During his many years of employment, as a manager in the retail business world, he served with Double Oak as a reserve/unpaid police officer. Cody has spent the last two years working as a patrol officer with the City of Lake Worth police department gaining invaluable experience in a high-call patrol community.
Thank you to the Town of Flower Mound Police Department for reaching out to their regional law enforcement partners and offering jail services. Double Oak now has a local detention facility available to house misdemeanor offenders, a dispatch center to enter class “c” misdemeanor warrants and the ability to have regional warrants confirmed 24 hours a day and then transported to a local jail. It is hoped that regional participation in jail operations will help pay for staffing at the Flower Mound detention facility, increase compliance in payment of traffic and other misdemeanor offenses and enhance local law enforcement working relationships.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
