Hey!!! Congrats!

🎉Congratulations to the graduates of the 2026 Santa Fe Police Department Citizen Police Academy!🎉

Over the past nine weeks, participants had the opportunity to go behind the scenes and gain a firsthand look at the many responsibilities of our officers and the work that goes into serving and protecting our community each day. From learning about police operations and investigations to experiencing specialized demonstrations, this program provided valuable insight into the profession and strengthened the connection between our department and the community we serve.

Thank you to everyone who dedicated their time to participate in this year’s Citizen Police Academy. We are proud to recognize each graduate and appreciate your commitment to learning more about the Santa Fe Police Department. Congratulations!🎉

Residents who may need additional assistance during a natural disaster are encouraged to register with the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR).

The STEAR program is a free registry that helps local emergency planners and first responders identify individuals who may need extra assistance during an emergency, including seniors, individuals with disabilities, those with medical needs, or residents who may require transportation or personal assistance.

Residents can register by:
- Calling 2-1-1 or (877) 541-7905
- Visiting stear.tdem.texas.gov

In the event of a natural disaster, the City of Santa Fe may use this registry to help conduct welfare checks and assist residents as resources are available. If contact attempts by phone or messaging are unsuccessful, emergency personnel may conduct in-person welfare checks when necessary.

Please note:
- Registration must be renewed each year to keep information current.
- Registering with STEAR does not guarantee specific services during an emergency.

Please share this information with anyone who may benefit from this program.
