This Memorial Day, the men and women of the Taylor Police Department pause to honor and remember the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedoms.

Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

As we spend time with family and friends today, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and remember those who gave everything in service to our nation.

From all of us at the Taylor Police Department, thank you to our fallen heroes and to the families who continue to carry their legacy forward.

We wish everyone a safe and peaceful Memorial Day.

FIRST OF TWO CITYWIDE GARAGE SALES: The City of Taylor will again offer two free Citywide Garage Sale periods in 2026, the first May 22-31 and the second August 14-23.

Each of these periods will enable participants to have two full weekends of garage sales, should weather be a problem during one of the weekends. No permit is required to hold your garage sale during these dates only.
