SERVICE PROGRAM
FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
PROVIDE A SAFE COMMUNITY
Make Public Safety a priority by investing in facilities, equipment, personnel, and training, and
by partnering with the local healthcare community. Require quality neighborhood designs.
Decentralize services and amenities across the City - neighborhood pride and safety will follow.
Guiding Principles: Noteworthy Essentials, Together as One
Goals:
1. Complete the new Police Headquarters and Joint Training Facility
These two facilities are on track for completion in the fall of 2024.
2. Foster quality neighborhood design aspects that encourage passive surveillance,
sidewalks, slow vehicle speeds, adequate lighting, and community pride.
Proactively create environments to encourage neighbors to look out for one another; more
pedestrian travel, and therefore slower movement of passing vehicles; streetlights and
storefronts with neutral lighting.
3. Spread city services throughout the City into neighborhoods.
Mansfield Police Department earned the 2023 National Night Out Award from the National Association of Town
Watch. Mansfield was also named one of the Safest Cities in Texas in 2023.
