Video: Familiarize yourself to the new Deer Park emergency siren sound that could save your life during a crisis.

Important notice about the City of Deer Park’s outdoor emergency siren system:

The City of Deer Park is changing the sound of the emergency siren system. The new siren wail will be a steady tone, but may sound like it is changing slightly in pitch due to the siren speaker head spinning during activation. This change is being made to assist more citizens with hearing the sirens during emergencies.

Familiarize yourself with the sound of the emergency sirens:

Reminders about the siren system:

The sirens have a mounted red light on top to alert the Deaf community to an activation.

SIRENS ALWAYS MEAN SHELTER IN PLACE. They may be activated for a chemical release or for a tornado, but they are always activated to instruct the community to shelter in place.

THE SIRENS ONLY BROADCAST A SIREN WAIL. Recorded voice messages will not go out over the siren system. Do not exit structures to listen to the siren system as this is goes against the recommendation to shelter in place. Enroll in CodeRED for updates during emergencies, in addition to monitoring the news, city social media accounts and the city webpage.

DPPD: Protect yourself from bank jugging threats.

A friendly reminder on bank jugging. What is jugging? It is the stalking of potential victims as a prelude to a burglary or robbery. Usually the criminals steal from victims who just left a bank or ATM.

Remember to be aware of your surroundings and keep your money hidden. If you become a victim, stay calm and call the police when it’s safe to do so.

Community spirit shined at the Back the Blue BBQ Festival with the CREC’s dedication to taking care of the silent auction.

Reflecting over the love and support we received at our Back the Blue BBQ Festival, we know we have so much to be grateful for. Our event would not be as successful as it was without the true grit and determination of the Community Real Estate Crew. The CREC has successfully overseen the silent auction for the Back the Blue BBQ Festival for the past three (3) years. They collect donations of gift cards, cash, gift baskets, sports memorabilia, fishing trips, corn hole boards, and much more and add these items to the silent auction. Months are spent collecting, coordinating, decorating and designing to be ready for this fantastic event. Thank you Community Real Estate Crew for your continued support of Deer Park Police Department and La Porte Police Department and helping make the Back the Blue BBQ Festival a huge success.

DPPD: Technical issues with CodeRED emergency alerts failed at the wrong time.

An update on CodeRED emergency alert system:

Last night, the City of Deer Park emergency alert system (CodeRED) experienced technical difficulties within the online tool to issue notifications.

Staff worked diligently to find a work around to get notifications out through the system and eventually had to operate through their support phone number to issue notices.

Residents received notices that had incorrect spelling/grammar and may have received duplicate notifications and/or no notification.

This was a technical issue within the CodeRED system. We are working with CodeRED to address these technical issues.

DPPD training church affiliates on crisis intervention, child safety, and a bonus from Antonio’s Italian Grill & Seafood.

Yesterday we conducted training for area church affiliates. This training covered de-escalation, crisis intervention, and child abuse/outcry. Each topic was presented by a Deer Park Police Officer who is an expert on these topics. This training was not only informative but it also was a terrific networking opportunity for all.
We would also like to thank the Deer Park Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni Association for our fantastic lunch by Antonio’s Italian Grill & Seafood!
