Home Inspections

972.874.3357

The Texas Department of Insurance, in conjunction with major insurance companies have agreed on certain criteria which will allow citizens to obtain a discount of up to 20% off their homeowner's insurance premium. To monitor this program, local police officers receive training which enables them to inspect a residence and provide documentation showing compliance with these criteria. All a citizen needs to do is contact the Police Department and schedule an appointment. The inspection costs nothing except a little of your time. Our inspectors will come to your residence and provide a complete security survey of you property in addition to explaining the insurance reduction programs. Once all criteria have been met, the officers will submit appropriate paperwork to the Department of Insurance so that you may receive your reductions.

Neighborhood Watch

Neighborhood Watch and Homeowner's Association: 972-874-3357 This is a community program which operates with police guidance and support. The program is a very good one for improving the cohesiveness of a neighborhood as well as making it a better and safer place to live. It is really a collaboration between the community and the police department to insure every effort is made to keep the area a safe friendly place to live. If you live in a neighborhood that has a watch program in effect, we recommend you contact your local coordinator or block captain to join. If you do not have an established neighborhood watch program, contact the Police Department to obtain assistance in starting one. To get started talk with a few of your neighbors and find out if you have enough interested residents to get a watch started. To have a viable watch, you need a minimum of 50% of the residents to participate (although you don't need them all to show up for your meeting to start things off). Then pick a time and place to hold a meeting. Call our office and schedule to have one of our officers come out and provide an overview of the program and explain what you need to do to form your neighborhood watch. Our officer will explain all criteria, have some handouts for everyone in attendance, and answer any questions. Once you have met the criteria, the police department will have your watch signs installed at all entrances to your community. This will let everyone know that you have a neighborhood watch in effect. In addition, the Police department is available to meet with your Homeowner's Association to discuss crime prevention in your neighborhood.

The Flower Mound Police Department is in the process of developing a new method of communicating critical incident information to each Homeowners’ Association and Neighborhood Watch.  By providing updated contact information, the Police Department can ensure timely communication of important information to your group.  Please have the appropriate contact fill out the form below that pertains to your group.

Crime Prevention

972.874.3357

In addition to the neighborhood watch programs, our officers can discuss various topics of interest in the crime prevention arena. Some of the topics we cover are personal safety either at home, while driving, while shopping, while on vacation, or while at the ATM machine. All of these programs can be presented either as a single presentation or individually, depending on your needs and time constraints. Again, these presentations are free to our residents. All you need to do is decide what topic you are interested in, contact the Police Department and arrange an appointment at a time and place of your choosing. Contact our office and let us provide whatever topic you need.

Stranger Danger

972.874.3357

This is one of our more popular programs. The Police Department spends many hours each year in our elementary schools teaching this program to our younger residents. We also go to day care centers, the YMCA, churches, or other organizations that request this training for a group of children. The program teaches children who strangers are and how to behave if approached by a stranger. Call to make an appointment.

Bicycle Safety

972.874.3357

Another popular program with our elementary school children. The course teaches kids the basics of checking their bicycle's equipment to ensure it is safe to operate. We also focus on correct methods of operating a bicycle including procedures for following the rules of the road while riding. This includes proper hand signals to ensure drivers know what their intentions are. A bicycle rodeo can also be incorporated into this program if sufficient participation and space is available.

Customized Programs

972.874.3357

Our department strives to provide whatever support our citizens feel they need. If you have a specific topic that you want or need to have presented, then contact us and let us know what it is. If we don't have a program in place, we will do our best to design one which will meet your needs. As the 911 posters say, "Help is just a phone call away!"
