TOMBALL POLICE DEPARTMENT
At a Glance

“The sole reason we exist is to serve the citizens of Tomball.”

This is the motto followed by the diversified staff of the Tomball Police Department. The Tomball Police Department has taken great strides to enhance our service capabilities for both our citizens and the dedicated police personnel who serve them.

Today’s 21st Century policing is driven by integrated information and technology systems. To that end, our City Manager, Mayor and City Council members have permitted us to make prudent use of these tools to increase both our effectiveness and our efficiency in the delivery of services. These technologies and information systems help keep our personnel costs down while giving our citizens a better, and more informed police officer in addressing crime and accident trends. We have aggressively built upon our core Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and records management system to place necessary support tools out to our patrol fleet and allow officers to remain in the field patrolling businesses and neighborhoods. This integrated “systems” approach allows officers to have a virtual office via their mobile data computers located in their patrol unit. With this capability, officers can perform the following tasks from their patrol units; receive calls for service via mobile computers, write and transfer reports, access criminal histories and other valuable information, and communicate with surrounding emergency services, creating interoperability. We have continued to develop new programs, as well as build on the already implemented programs. This allows officers to remain of the street and be readily available when called upon by the citizens of the community. The system has proven itself effective by the decrease in officer call response time to citizens’ call for service.

Tomball Police Department patrol fleet is fully equipped with the latest technology and equipment to meet our public safety mission. Each patrol cruiser serves as an officer’s mobile office with full audio and video capabilities, mobile data computers with virtual office and database capabilities, wireless network systems, and modified less-lethal weapons and Taser technology. Each officer receives continued in-service training to maintain skills and proficiency.

The Tomball Police Department continues in its relentless pursuit of excellence and increased our patrol staffing with highly qualified officers. This strategic measure was taken to meet the ever increasing service needs of our fast growing community. Many of our officers are subject matter experts in various areas such as firearms instruction, rape aggression defense, ground fighting, drug recognition, and crime prevention. This information is shared among all members within the department.

Tomball Police Department continued to reach out to the community by continuing to build the foundation between law enforcement and the community in which they serve. This foundation is constructed with community-based programs such as Citizens Police Academy, Volunteers in Policing Services, Youth Police Academy, Tomball Apartment Managers Group, Blue Santa, Story Time, and the Tomball Rape Aggression Defense training.
