By sharing statistics and promoting safe driving practices, the Deer Park Police Department hopes to reduce the number of traffic accidents and ultimately end the streak of daily fatalities on Texas roads. The campaign serves as a reminder for drivers to prioritize safety and be mindful of their actions while behind the wheel to prevent unnecessary tragedies.

Officer Jillian Basilone was honored as November Officer of the Month by Deer Park Rotary 5890 for her heroic actions in apprehending an armed robbery suspect.
On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, Officer Jillian Basilone was recognized as November Officer of the Month by Deer Park Rotary 5890.
On 10/03/23, Officer Basilone was dispatched to assist officers with an armed robbery that had just occurred at a local gas station. Officer Basilone arrived in the area and observed a male matching the description of the suspect walking nearby. Officer Basilone radioed her location and attempted to contact the male, but he fled on foot. Without hesitation, Basilone chased the male on foot and while running, she observed a handgun fall from his waistband to the ground. Basilone continued to give updated locations over the radio and responding officers arrived to assist. The male was subsequently located and placed into custody. Charges were ultimately accepted for Aggravated Robbery and this arrest also led to a Theft of Firearm investigation after it was determined the gun the suspect possessed was stolen.
We commend Officer Basilone for her bravery during this incident and personal sacrifice to protect the citizens of Deer Park.

On 10/28/2023, the Cortez/Norris American Legion Post 319 held a dinner and awards ceremony for two outstanding members of the Deer Park Police Department.
Officer Travis Potter was the award recipient Deer Park Police Department Officer of the Year. Over the last year, Potter received a nomination for the Deer Park Police Department Life Saving award, stemming from a female that was having a medical emergency. Because of Potter’s quick efforts and life saving measures, the female victim was revived and later recovered. In addition, Potter serves as a Crime Scene Officer, Field Training Officer and member of the SRG (Special Response Group). Potter serves with sound judgement and responsibility, and can be found with a smile on his face more times than not. Congratulations to Officer Potter.
Deer Park Crossing Guard Mike Cheney was the award recipient for Deer Park Police Department Crossing Guard of the Year. Mike has been working as a School Crossing Guard since January 2017. Mike is committed to ensuring the safety of the children under his care. Mike is reliable and rarely needs coverage at his site and consistently helps with other city related functions such as fun runs and parades. Mike’s efforts and his seriousness about his job are greatly appreciated by both the school district and police department.

DPPD: Prepare for hurricane season and get your emergency kit ready.
The peak of hurricane season is almost here. Is your emergency kit ready?
Residents are strongly encouraged to maintain a 72 hour emergency supply of water, non-perishable food, and medicine for each member of their household, including pets. Reserves should be built in advance of an emergency to ensure supplies are available – stores may run out of resources in the days leading up to a major weather event or other emergency.
Sufficient resources may not be immediately available to assist everyone negatively impacted by a disaster. Self-sufficiency for a minimum of 3 days is a consistent recommendation from all levels of government, with encouragement to store resources for longer periods. A 72 hour supply will assist your household with bridging the supply gap between the time a disaster occurs and the time additional resources arrive.
Visit www.ready.gov/kit for more information about emergency supplies that should be kept on hand.
