I am a little late on this post; however, I would like everyone to welcome Lorenzo Pardo to the ranks of the Jacksboro Police Department.

Officer Pardo comes to us from the Wichita County Sheriff's Office, where he was a Detention Officer. Officer Pardo attended the Vernon College Police Academy while working at the Sheriff's Office. The Jacksboro Police Department hired Officer Pardo while he was in the academy, and he graduated as a Jacksboro Police Officer.

I commend Officer Pardo on his hard work and determination, and look forward to great things from him.

Congratulations, Pardo!

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE 🚨

After closely watching the forecast, we have made the difficult decision to POSTPONE the 2026 Mainstreet Classic Car Show & Vendor Market scheduled for this Saturday, May 23.

With the strong potential for rain and storms, we want to make sure this event can be enjoyed safely — and fully — by everyone involved.

✨ GOOD NEWS ✨
This is a postponement… NOT a cancellation!

We are actively working on a new date now and will announce it ASAP. So Stay Tuned!

Today, the Jacksboro Police Department was made aware of a scam circulating. Individuals are calling and claiming to be with the FCC. They are advising that you have violated communication rules on your phone. They then attempt to gain personal information.

REMEMBER: Federal agencies will not call and ask for personal information. They also will not call and advise you to call other places to give your personal information.

Stay alert and wise to scams!

The Jacksboro Police Department would like to thank Chick-fil-A for providing chicken sandwiches and the Brownies and Girl Scouts for donating cookies on Tuesday. Your kindness does not go unnoticed.

In an emergency, every second matters. Make sure your house number is clearly visible from the street—day and night. Officers, fire, and EMS rely on those numbers to find you quickly when you need help.
