Chief Minton is taking his runway training very seriously because this cause means so much to him.

Every dollar raised goes directly to the Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center, supporting local children experiencing abuse. Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center

Chiefs and the Sheriff from across the county are battling it out to see who can raise the most and earn the most votes.

Leander: let’s show them what we’re made of and bring that crown home!

Community Policing: In 2018, Sgt. Solis was wrapping up a call for service when he came across a group of Leander kids playing football. He tossed the ball around with them for a bit before heading out.

This week, while pumping gas, he got a surprise: one of those kids, Grayson, recognized him from that moment over 8 years ago and pulled up the photo from that day. Grayson is now studying to become a first responder.

It’s moments like these that remind us how powerful community policing can be and how meaningful those small connections truly are.

We had a great time at the Leander Chamber of Commerce Lunch & Learn today.

Chief Minton shared practical tips on crime prevention, emergency response, and how businesses can partner with local law enforcement to help create safer businesses and stronger communities.

Community outreach is a big part of community safety.

Leander PD is proud to connect, listen, and work alongside our community. 💙

If it looks like an e-bike and rides like an e-bike… is it legally an e-bike?

We brought in four local police chiefs and a few willing contestants to help us answer that question.

Our first two came ready to make their pitch, but neither walked away with a deal.

Maybe our next contestant will have better luck… Stay tuned for Part 2.👀

🚨 Animal Services Reminder🚨:

It’s heating up out there, so before you take your furry friend for a walk, do a quick pavement check. Asphalt gets hot fast and can burn paws even when the air feels comfortable.

You’ll see new signs around our parks as a reminder, but the rule is simple: if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. 🐾

Stay cool and keep those four-legged buddies safe!

National Night Out is getting a fresh twist in Leander this year!

On Tuesday, October 6, we’re celebrating at two locations: Bledsoe Park and Benbrook Ranch Park. Leander PD is teaming up with Leander Parks & Recreation to bring the community an evening of connection and fun.

Come out, meet your neighbors, hang out with your first responders, and enjoy a great night in your city. We can’t wait to see everyone there!

🏡 Neighborhoods & HOAs: You’re welcome to host your own National Night Out celebration! We always encourage neighbors to connect and enjoy time together.

*Please note that because the City is hosting two large events this year, police, fire, and other City teams may not be able to attend individual neighborhood parties.

We hope to see you at Bledsoe Park or Benbrook Ranch Park as we celebrate National Night Out together!

Update: That was quick! Thank you, Leander, for helping us identify the person wanted for questioning in this theft case. Thanks to your tips, we’ve confirmed his identity.

___________________________________________________________________________

We need your help identifying the man caught on surveillance helping himself to merchandise at two Leander vape/smoke shops: 512 V**e and Paradox Smoke Shop.

He left very quickly… probably because the items he grabbed weren’t exactly paid for.

Our officers would love to chat with him. If you recognize this individual, please contact Detective Ty Stryker at 512-528-2800 or email [email protected].
