Our DPS has statewide jurisdiction so they can patrol anywhere within the state of Texas — including Austin.
However, what the Austin city council has done is to remove any coordinated partnership between APD and the DPS.
So in essence they have broke the lines of communication that would allow those 2 agencies to work hand-in-hand.
I’m so glad I dont live in that cesspool. As it is, we live 60 miles away which is still too close.
....last I saw on the liberal Austin teevee stations, the Austin police dept is short at least 500 postions....great....that’s why we live in the suburbs....
Hi neighbor... I am also 60 miles out of Austin, north on 35 surrounded by Belton...
I used to visit Austin several times a month but now avoid it if at all possible. It has been well over a year since my last trip there...The overflow from Austin is killing our small town attitude....
Thank you for that explanation. I’m in San Antonio and appreciate knowing what those progressive a$$holes are going.
