As we move into the summer travel season, the Terrell Police Department would like to remind residents to remain vigilant and take precautions to help prevent catalytic converter thefts.

Catalytic converters contain valuable metals, making them a target for thieves. While these thefts can occur at any time, vehicles left unattended for extended periods during vacations or travel can be especially vulnerable.

To help protect your vehicle:

• Park in a well-lit area whenever possible.

• If available, park in a garage or secured area.

• Install anti-theft devices or catalytic converter shields.

• Report suspicious activity, especially individuals crawling under parked vehicles or using power tools in parking lots or neighborhoods.

For non-emergency assistance, contact the Terrell Police Department at 469-474-2700. In an emergency, always call 911.

If you see suspicious activity, contact the Terrell Police Department immediately. By working together and remaining alert, we can help deter theft and keep our community safe.

Today, we pause to remember and honor Officer William Robert Stout, End of Watch June 5, 1980.

Officer Stout dedicated his life to serving and protecting his community, answering a calling that required courage, sacrifice, and commitment. Though decades have passed since his passing, his service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

As we reflect on his legacy, we are reminded that the badge represents more than a profession—it represents a promise to stand in service to others, often at great personal risk. Officer Stout’s dedication continues to inspire those who wear the badge today.

Please join the Terrell Police Department in remembering Officer William Robert Stout and honoring his service to our community.
