Flock Safety Systems

License Plate Readers

The ten Flock Safety Cameras were installed between mid-January to March. Flock cameras are instrumental to the police department and has been credited to identifying suspects and solving crimes across the city. Our first stolen car recovery was on March 18, 2022. We made a total of 21 arrests through the Flock Safety Camera System. Ten stolen vehicles were located and recovered. Eight people were arrested from the stolen vehicles and 13 arrests were made through warrant notifications. Of all of the 23 vehicles located, only one was involved in a pursuit. In 2023, we will be adding ten more throughout the city of Mansfield which will give usa total of 20.

Driving Pad

In May 2022, we started the construction of our new driving pad and burn tower. The driving pad was completed in August while the burn tower is still under construction. Our driving pad will be used for bike training, motor exercises, and the home of our new National Academy Professional Driving (NAPD) Training. In November, Mansfield Officers completed an 8-hour NAPD course which included defensive and police driving skills.

New Police Building

The Mansfield City Council approved the construction of a new police building. In December 2022, all of our police services were relocated before the demolishing of the existing building. It will take approximately 18-24 months to complete our police department's new home. This will allow all of our departments to be under one roof including dispatch services, jail facility, patrol, detectives, fleet, and command staff. Our goal with the design of the building is to have the 'WOW' factor when someone sees our new home. This building will have a very inviting feel, comprised of modern technology, and will maximize the functionality and efficiency of the building, parking lot, and South Support Building.
