This article is about the unsung hero’s in Wylie Texas. Specifically the Wylie Police Department. Wylie is a town in Southeast Collin County with a current population of 32,696. Not much is ever said about Law Enforcement in any community, but I wanted to give this department it’s just recognition.

When the city of Wylie Texas was formed in 1887 it had a Town Marshall as it’s law enforcement. This Town Marshall was a more administrative function than law enforcement. The longest holder of that station was Ham Hawrey who held it for about 6 years.

The Wylie Police Department came into being in the early 60’s when Barney Gaylor jr. was hired as it’s one and only police officer. The force at that time had a police car, and a small building erected next to a fire house was the jail. At that time the population was approximately 1,804.

Today however, the city has a population of 32,696 and is listed as number 8 in the fastest growing suburbs of Dallas Texas, and it’s projected to reach 39,000 by the end of 2008. The Police Department has grown to a reported 40 Officers plus admin staff.

The men and women of this police force are dedicated and committed to providing safe and secure neighborhoods through community oriented policing, improving the quality of life for it’s residents.

Let’s take a look at this department.

First and foremost are the Patrol Officers who are the front line in protecting and policing this community. They have currently one K-9 unit, with another in training. They are responsible for initial crime investigation and the protection of Wylie’s citizens. They provide around the clock 24/7 preventive patrol, service calls, traffic investigation and enforcement, and enforcement of all laws local, federal, and state. They are the first contact for the lost and homeless in the community. They have had one officer shot in the line of duty who survived those injuries.

School Resource Officers are stationed inside Wylie ISD schools providing school security, classroom instruction, anti-drug and alcohol instruction, and act as mentors to the students. They are the link between the Wylie ISD and the Police Department.\

The Criminal Investigative Division. They have 5 detectives and a Seargent who handle about 90 cases a month total. This division is responsible for solving 2 cold case murders in the past few years. They are the people who do follow up investigations to crimes. They investigate all homicides and do the CSI work.They obtain the arrest warrants, search warrants, and gather evidence which leads to successful prosecution of criminal offenders, and the recovery of stolen property. They maintain the Sex Offender data list. This division is at the heart of the department and are responsible for the things mentioned above and more.

The Records and Statistics division is responsible for maintaining the Uniform crime Reports. The Crime in Wylie dropped 17% in 2006 to 1,794 compared to the 2005 figures set at 2,107, and is currently at a lower level. These figures are based on Part 1 crimes which is the industry standard as selected by the FBI.

The SWAT team is comprised of well trained officers and handles critical incidents such as hostage situations, barricaded suspects,and serve felony and drug warrants. They are certified officers who are a mixture of Patrol and other officers.

In addition the Wylie Police Department provides a number of special services to the community. Some of those are Free Gun Locks, Home Security Evaluations, Neighborhood Watch training, and Self Defense for Women. These are just a few of the things they provide, and the list is longer than I can put in this article.

So there you have it. The Wylie Police Department are a group of people who are here to protect and serve you. The next time your stopped for a traffic violation don’t think badly of them, they didn’t do the violation, you did.

When you see a Police Officer, thank them for their service and for what they do, and remember that it’s because of what they do that you, your home, and community are safe and secure.

In todays world not much is said about the real hero’s in our communities. We mostly accept the fact that they are there but do not give them the credit or respect they are entitled to. This article will deal with the Fire Department in Wylie Texas.

The Wylie Fire Department covers approximately 60 square miles in Southeast collin county. Currently it has 2 Fire stations manned 24/7 and a temporary station, with a permanent Station number 3 under construction. The 2 permanent stations currently have ‘Quint’ fire truck’s. A ‘Quint’ truck combines the five functions of an engine and ladder truck, which are a pump, water tank, fire hose, an aerial device, and ground ladders. They also have 3 MICU ambulances which serve the current 32,000+ residents of Wylie of which a large percentage are elderly citizens, along with an ever growing number of young families, and businesses. Since the 2000 census Wylie has doubled it’s population, and is considered one of the fastest growing suburbs in Dallas Texas. The City of Wylie, and it’s Fire Department are dedicated to keeping up with the phenomenal growth of this area.

The Wylie Fire Department was founded and established in 1909, and their mission statement is “Dedicating themselves to provide a progressively trained, and fully equipped department in order to protect the lives, property, and environment of Wylie Texas”. This is a large task since they also provide service for the Southeast Collin County Coalition. In addition to Wylie Texas proper they also provide extra-territorial coverage under contract to St. Paul Texas and portions of Dallas County, Rockwall County, and Lavon Lake.

Their staff currently includes a Chief, assistant Chief, EMS Captain, Fire Marshall, Fire Inspector/Investigator, and Administrative personnel. They are rated as a Class 1 Department by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). They have a PPC rating of 1 which is split because of their outside protected area’s, which are properties located within 1 mile of a city limit border. The State Fire Marshall, G. Mike Davis, states that “a PPC rating of 1 translates into the best fire protection available, creating lower property insurance rates”.

Wylie Texas is located within 3 miles of Lavon Lake which provides the residents as well as visitors with great fishing, boating, camping, swimming, and water sports. The Wylie Fire Department has a Fire Rescue Division which is surpassed by none. They are well trained and have the best equipment available to them to do a superior job. They currently have 2 hovercraft, and an all terrain vehicle called the Ranger, and a pontoon craft called Marine 1 which they operate in the performance of their duties. This video will show you a Hovercraft Training Session. This is one of two Neoteric Hovercraft owned by the Wylie Fire Rescue.

Your community’s Fire Department is one of the key links to your community’s safety and existence. If you see a Fireman, Thank Him or Her, for their work and sacrifice.
