Maypearl Police Department

03/11/2026

Good evening,

This is a friendly reminder that if you need police services, please call the Ellis County Sheriff’s Dispatch at 972-937-6060.

The Maypearl Police Department currently has three full-time officers, and we typically have one officer on duty per shift, or officers rotating on call when no officer is scheduled. When citizens call the office number or an officer’s cell phone directly, it can delay the police response.

Our officers are doing the best they can while handling multiple responsibilities, including responding to service calls, writing reports, conducting traffic safety enforcement, assisting other agencies, and helping with major fire calls.

Calling dispatch ensures that the on-duty officer is notified as quickly as possible and helps us respond more efficiently.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Good afternoon,

It has been brought to our attention that there are early morning traffic issues on Old Buena Vista Road. Unfortunately, the Mayberry, oops I mean the Maypearl Police Department does not have jurisdiction over that roadway.

If you are requesting additional patrols in that area, please contact the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office at 972.937.6060. They will be more than happy to assist you.

Thank you.

Good morning.
As many of you are aware, there is currently a water main leak at 4th Street and Claunch. City crews are on site and actively working on repairs.

For the next few hours, we ask all residents to please conserve water, as the city’s groundwater storage is limited and running low.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation while repairs are underway.

Let me start by saying thank you for your concern on this matter.

The officer in question was hired prior to the current chief’s arrival and successfully passed the psychological evaluation overseen by the city. After speaking with TCOLE and prior agencies where he applied, it was clarified that he did not fail a psychological exam — he only did not advance in an interview process.

This officer has consistently dedicated and volunteered his time to this community. He has not been rejected by every department; rather, he chose to remain with Maypearl. He has served Maypearl for nearly two years, during which he has been observed and trained by veteran officers. He has demonstrated positive interactions with both the community and members of the department.

It is unfortunate when incomplete information is used in a way that could harm someone’s livelihood. I encourage everyone to gather all the facts before drawing conclusions. The same facts were reviewed by TCOLE investigators, who found no wrongdoing, misconduct, or poor decision-making.

Unless there is evidence of poor performance or misconduct, there is no basis for dismissal. He has completed all required steps, including a fit-for-duty evaluation, which he passed.

Again, if there are concerns, I encourage the use of open records requests to review the facts before making accusations on social media.

Thank you to whoever posted this today — a good laugh is healthy for the soul.

At this time, the Maypearl Police Department is conducting patrols throughout town to monitor road conditions and provide updates to City Administration and Ellis County Emergency Management. We are also continuing to respond to any calls for service or assistance from citizens in need.

Please drive carefully, reduce your speed, and maintain at least three car lengths of following distance.

Good afternoon,

The situation at 5th Street and Morton Street has created an inconvenience due to increased school traffic and motorists using a private driveway to access FM 157. As a result, Maypearl Public Works temporarily taped off the east side of Morton Street from 5th Street to ensure the property owner and other affected residents are respected during the road closures.

The City received multiple complaints regarding vehicles driving through private yards and causing damage to grass and property. Prior to taking this action, the City was advised by neighboring residents that the Public Works measures would not restrict access for any residents and would effectively prevent drivers from cutting through the private driveway.

If there are alternative solutions that would better address the situation, please contact City Hall so the City may review them and make any appropriate adjustments.

Good afternoon. It has been brought to our attention that people of this city have been complaining about the gun shot like sounds around 6:30am and 6:45 am near the water tower. Rest assure it is not gun fire. The Maypearl Police has been instructed to shoot screamers and bangers for buzzard abaitment. This was in response to possible civil litigation if the city did not take any course of action to rid of the buzzard infestation in that area. We know it can become  annoying and sometimes down right scary to some. But to  satisfy the few, we are left with little options with what is budgeted. If you have concerns, please feel free to express them in person, so we can address this to the city council.

The Maypearl Police Department will be participating in the Marine Corp Reserve Toys for Tots 2025. Please bring any unwrapped toy to help kids in need to have an enjoyable Christmas. The official Toys for Tots box will be in the front lobby area of city hall.

We just want to show our appreciation to Sheriff Norman, and the Ellis County Sheriff's Office, Fire Chief Trey Moon, and Maypearl Fire EDS 1, and to all others that help with our National Night Out. We know with the Maypearl ISD fall festival, and the NNO being on the same night due to the lack of communication, but it was still a wonderful thing to see the community interaction. Some say could we do better, yes, but that's irrelevant. The most important part was the smile on the children's faces, and to show the community we are here from everyone, just not the select few. If anyone has a solution to make next year better, we will welcome any and all suggestions. See you all again next year!

Good evening everyone. Over the last couple of Saturdays, the Maypearl Police Department has received complaints about the fire lanes around thr school stadium. We will reqch out and see if the ISD can help come up with solutions to help with the lack of parking. Until then, please be mindful to keep the gate clear for ambulances and give enough room for a fire apparatus to maneuver. MPD will observe the flow of traffic and if need we will let the event coordinators reach out to the patrons. Are purpose is to stay away from enforcement unless it absolutely necessary. Thank you and have a beautiful and safe weekend.

The Maypearl Police and Maypearl Fire ESD 1 will be hosting National Night Out on October 28th, 2025, from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. This will allow the community to interact with their local public safety and government. This opportunity will also allow the community to ask questions and provide input to the public safety leadership and allow the children of our community to enjoy one of the two trunk-a-treats for the week of Halloween.
