About

Since its creation almost 40 years ago, the Helotes Police Department continues to protect and honorably serve Helotes residents, businesses, and visitors. The 23 sworn officers and two office employees that form the department take special pride in helping to make Helotes a safe place to live, work, and play. The Helotes Police Department strives to reduce crime and provide a safe City through:

• Recognizing that its goal is to help people and provide assistance at every opportunity
• Increasing citizen satisfaction with public safety and obtaining community cooperation through the department’s training, skills, and efforts
• Providing preventative, investigative, and enforcement services
• Realizing that the Helotes Police Department alone cannot control crime, but must act in partnership with the community and the rest of the Criminal Justice System
