Over the past several days, a series of vehicle burglaries occurred in the Meadow Place Estates area. The cars that were burglarized were unlocked. The suspects appear to be teens.
This is an ongoing issue in Willow Park and our surrounding areas. We will be increasing our patrol during the overnight hours in hopes of helping deter further criminal activity.
In the meantime, help us help you - PLEASE lock your vehicles anytime they are unattended - even if only for a few moments - and don't leave valuables in your vehicle. And if you see something, say something: you can reach us via 911 or the non-emergency dispatch line at (817) 594-3213. Help us keep Willow Park a safe place for you and your property!

According to Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS), about 140-160 officers are killed in the line of duty each year and their families and co-workers are left to cope with the tragic loss.
On May 15 every year, we take time to honor those who have been killed or injured in the line of duty, making the ultimate sacrifice to keep their communities safe. Our hearts today are with those officers and the ones they left behind.

If someone calls and asks you to buy a gift card or cryptocurrency to pay a fine, STOP.
It’s a scam.
These kind of scams start with a call, text, email or social media message. The person contacting you is, they say, from the government. (They’re not.) They say to pay right away or something terrible will happen. (It won’t.)
• A police department or other law enforcement agency will NEVER contact you via phone or text stating you have an outstanding warrant or unpaid tickets.
• ALWAYS verify the source that is requesting any type of payment. Search the company and call the listed phone number, not the one the caller provided.
• ASK for more details.
• NEVER give any money over the phone.
• If selling items on Facebook Marketplace or any other social media sites for buying/selling items, do NOT accept cashiers checks over the amount of sale. They will ask you to deposit the check and then ask you to send the extra back to them.
• DON’T send cash, wire money, or give out personal information.
A legitimate organization WILL NOT ask for payments by gift card, cryptocurrency, bank transfer, or ask you to provide personal information, such as your social security number. If you get a call like this, hang up the phone.
To report a scam, please call the Willow Park Police Department at 817-441-9747.

Here's what we hope is the last winter storm update! Republic Services expects to run their Willow Park routes normally tomorrow. Recycling will NOT be collected. Normal trash and recycling schedules resume next Tuesday.
Roads are looking much better and Kings Gate hill has reopened. We still advise caution in case of slick spots, especially in shady areas.
Thank you all for being SO cautious during the storm and helping us avoid any major incidents! We are a stronger community together. 💚

Roads update: workers spent yesterday and today working on clearing main roads throughout the city, and most thoroughfares are clear enough to travel. Thank you to all the crew members who worked throughout the storm to keep our water flowing and clear our streets after!
Side streets in neighborhoods are still sketchy so please go slow and use caution when traveling. There is a chance everything wet could refreeze overnight, impacting the morning commute. Kings Gate hill remains closed until we get more of a thaw, please use alternate routes.
