The Cedar Hill Police Department would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the residents of Cedar Hill and our surrounding communities for your incredible support in helping locate a missing critical teenager last week.
This successful outcome is a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose. Through the rapid reach of social media, information was distributed quickly across our city, educating residents on who to look for and how they could help. Many (541) of you shared the information, remained vigilant, and leveraged the strong personal relationships and connections that make Cedar Hill such a special place to live.
Because of your willingness to engage, spread awareness, and look out for one another, valuable information reached the right people at the right time. Your actions demonstrate that public safety is truly a partnership between law enforcement and the community we serve.
Thank you, Cedar Hill, for showing the strength, compassion, and unity that define our city. Your commitment to looking after one another continues to make a difference and proves that when our community works together, we can accomplish remarkable things.
Another thing we learned is the importance of the cities emergency communication system, EVERBRIDGE. This important tool was instrumental in helping in this case.
