CODE OF CONDUCT:
The Fort Stockton Police Department expects its personnel to maintain high standards of appearance and conduct.  The public similarly expects such high standards.  Police officers wield considerable power over the citizenry, power that is carefully circumscribed by state and federal law and, ultimately by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  Our powers to arrest, seize property and interfere, at times, with the lives of citizens constitute a public trust.  A police officer can help to ensure that the trust is regarded as vital by performing his duties in an exemplary manner. Performance however, is not enough; we must always conduct ourselves in an exemplary fashion.

 
 
The Fort Stockton Police Department is in the process of instituting a new Traffic Compliance and Complaint Program to better serve you. This program is designed to help our officers guide their patrols when they are not responding to calls for service. Your Police Department heavily relies on public trust and information received from its citizens to capture criminals as well as solve and deter crimes. This is in an effort to help enforce traffic and speed laws in areas where residents feel there is a need for more directed patrols to help counter traffic violations that pose a risk to the public’s safety. Please be patient with us as this is a new program we are starting and as with all new programs, there will be issues to work through.
