Channel your inner Gladys Kravitz. 👀

See a pothole? Streetlight out? Mystery debris that definitely wasn’t there yesterday? Neighbor’s trash can attempting to achieve flight?

See something. Say something.

Our Murphy Connect (SeeClickFix) system makes it easy to report non-emergency issues around town so crews can get eyes on it and get it handled. https://murphytx.org/925/Murphy-Connect

Because while we can’t promise neighborhood gossip… we can promise your reports help keep Murphy looking sharp.

Stay vigilant, Gladys.

School’s out. The backpacks have been abandoned. The summer calendars are filling up fast.

Whether you’re heading out on vacation or simply slowing down to enjoy a little more family time this season, the Murphy Police Department’s free House Watch Program can help give you peace of mind while you’re away from home.

So, unplug a little (or we recommend a lot). Stay awhile at the pool. Take the trip. Enjoy the moments that make summer feel like summer. We’ll help keep an extra eye on things while you’re gone. ✈️🌴

Before you head out, fill out the House Watch Form here:
