OUCH. We are attempting to locate the burglary suspect seen in this video. Sure, we want to talk to him about breaking into a business in the 1600 block of W. Crosby on Sunday. But first, we want to make sure he's ok!
We couldn't let the sun set on National Dog Day without sharing K9 Fax's special talent of "helping" his human radio in traffic stops to dispatch. Every. Single. Time. We are pretty sure our friends at North Texas Emergency Communication Center - NTECC love it.
GOT STRESS? While patrolling Historic Downtown Carrollton this week, Officers DeGroot and Tilmon found Texas Lumberjaxe Axe Throwing open for business with COVID19 safety protocols in place!
Chief Miller attends every officer entrance exam to welcome our applicants and set expectations from day one. To be honest, we weren’t sure what kind of turnout to expect this morning. We ended up with a roomful of people who want to serve, and want it to be in Carrollton.

We get "invited" to the greatest parties...
At 28 years, Sgt. David Fitzpatrick was The Colony Police Department's most senior officer. He suffered a serious medical emergency at work last week and was taken off life support today after donating his organs, saving up to eight lives. Thank you @Carrollton Texas Fire Rescue and Coppell Fire Department City of Coppell Texas for helping us honor him today when his procession passed through Carrollton en route from Methodist Dallas Medical Center to the funeral home in Denton.
We are releasing this phone call audio in hopes of generating new leads in the investigation of the death of a man found lying in the roadway near Downtown Carrollton on October 15, 2018. A man called Flower Mound Police non-emergency dispatch from a blocked number a week later to report that he had hit and killed a pedestrian, but did not identify himself before hanging up. A Carrollton Fire Rescue engine company discovered 54-year-old Andre Hood of Carrollton in the westbound lanes of Belt Line Road just east of S. Broadway Street at 8:51 p.m., October 15, 2018. He was later pronounced dead. Video evidence indicates a sedan braking in the immediate area at the time of the incident, but investigators found little other evidence at the scene. If you were in the area at the time, or if you have any information or video that could propel the investigation, please call (972) 466-3333 to speak to an officer immediately, (972) 466-3329 to leave a recorded message, or email [email protected].
UPDATE: Thanks in large part to this great video and resulting tips from the public, he's in custody and property returned to rightful owner. Juan Manuel Garcia, 33, will be charged with Burglary of a Habitation. -------------------- Do you recognize this man? He was captured on surveillance video stealing items from a garage in the 1900 block of Robin Meadow Drive (southeast of Hebron/Josey) Tuesday morning, 08/21/18. He was also captured on surveillance video forgetting to put his car in park. If you can identify him or provide any other information that may be helpful to our investigation, please call (972) 466-3333 to speak to an officer right away, or submit tips to (972) 466-3329 or to [email protected].
Note the tail. Never. Stops. Wagging.
VEHICLE OF INTEREST This is surveillance video from the Austin Waters neighborhood in Carrollton in the early morning hours of March 2, 2017 when a rainbow flag was removed from a house and set on fire in the homeowner's mailbox on Longwoood Dr. If you know anything about this light-colored van of interest seen here on Broken Gate Rd. at 2:15 a.m. and again at 3:24 a.m. that morning, please call (972) 466-3578, or email: [email protected].
