Welcome to the City of Harlingen Police De-
partment (HPD) 2017 Annual Report. As we
begin 2018 as a community and as a police
department refl ecting on 2017, we continue
to take steps forward in pursuit of best prac-
tices in 21st century policing and improved
transparency for our citizens. Towards these
goals we have formatted our Annual Report
for 2017 to provide a broader look at crime,
traffi c, quality of life issues and accomplish-
ments, as well as bring to life how the men
and women of HPD serve on the front lines
and behind the scenes every day and night
to keep our City safe. We have gone through
a reorganization at HPD in 2017 that began
in late 2015 and we embrace continued
change to meet the needs of our citizens.
