Dear Residents,

An ounce of prevention can keep Kilgore safe. Vehicle burglaries are largely preventable, as criminals rarely force entry; instead, they typically look for unlocked doors.

Please follow these tips to help reduce the risk of vehicle burglaries:

- Lock your car: Always lock your vehicle, even when it is parked in your driveway.
- Remove valuables: Do not leave any valuable items in plain view.
- Secure fi****ms: Never leave a fi***rm in a vehicle unless it is secured in a dedicated gun locker to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.
- Report suspicious activity: Call us immediately if you see anything suspicious. Please do not attempt to confront or scare off suspects yourself before calling, as law enforcement prefers to approach suspects undetected.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe.

Unfortunately, last week we issued several dozen citations in the construction area at the I-20 and Highway 31 interchange.​ Several were above 70 m.p.h.
To clarify, the reduced speed limit of 55 mph set by TxDOT is in effect at all times, regardless of whether workers are present. However, please note that fines for these citations can double when workers are present in the area.
This area is particularly dangerous due to construction vehicles entering and exiting, as well as traffic crossing Highway 31 from I-20 and Post Oak Road. Please be mindful of these conditions and remember to reduce your speed when driving through this zone.​ Our goal is to gain voluntary compliance. We don't care if we write one more citation. We've got years of this construction, so safety is paramount.
It is not a trap; we are constantly warning everyone. Please slow down.
P.S.
This is all a TXDOT project, and we have zero impact on how they set speed limits and barriers. Staying at or below the speed limit will help.

A single bullet fired into the air doesn’t just disappear—it must land somewhere. Depending on the fi***rm, a bullet can travel up to 1–3 miles before hitting the ground. That means a shot fired in one neighborhood could land far beyond where it was fired, putting others at risk. A single shot can impact lives in seconds. Help END illegal gunfire in Fort Worth.

If you hear or see illegal gunfire, call 911.
