Groesbeck Police Department has been fortunate to have a full roster of police officers and the support of the community for many years. As the department is now short two officers, with a third vacancy expected in December, Police Chief Chris Henson is hoping that their community support will come through in a new way; by individuals stepping up to be “the eyes and ears” for the PD on a part-time, volunteer basis with Citizens on Patrol (CoP).

Like many other cities, the ongoing higher-than-normal temperatures and the lack of rainfall have made it necessary to implement the plan. Additionally, consumer use has increased. On average, the city water plant has to produce approximately 500,000 gallons per day to meet demand, but the current demand is approximately 650,000 gallons per day.

The Groesbeck ISD Board of Trustees used their meeting Monday, July 17 to consider an opportunity to save money on their overall energy costs and approved an interlocal agreement that puts money in the district’s pocket.
