- Resident Survey
- Reduced Crime
- TCEQ Testing
- TCR Study
A recently released survey of Flower Mound residents indicates that the community as a whole gives the Town overwhelmingly positive performance ratings, values the high-level of services provided, is pleased with the overall direction of the Town, and considers Flower Mound a safe community that they are likely to continue calling home and recommending to others.
The survey was mailed to 3,000 randomly selected Flower Mound Households in November 2009. A response rate of 39 percent resulted in the receipt of 1,134 completed surveys. A majority of the rankings placed satisfaction rates notably higher than the national average and of those given to comparable municipalities. More than 90 percent of the respondents indicated that they would recommend living in Flower Mound and that the Town was a good or excellent place to live and raise a family. View the survey summary.
Crediting the placement of additional patrol officers on the streets, the creation of two new police beats, and staffing and equipment benefits made possible by the Town’s dedicated crime district sales tax, the Flower Mound Police Department is reporting a five percent reduction in the overall crime rate for 2009. This is the third consecutive year the Town has experienced a percentage decrease in overall crime. Read more.
