We spent our lunch hour Wednesday with bright smiles and a small glimpse into the innerworkings of Tulia Police Department.

Congratulations to our Student of the Month, Sophmore Mariah Briones and to our our Teacher of the Month, Amy Garcia who teaches Culinary Arts! These two ladies were chosen by their peers and coworkers as the top tier of the cake at Tulia High School 🎂 Mrs. Garcia and Mariah, while living out two different roles at THS, put their whole hearts into every sport, class, group, and competition they are involved in. We are so proud of y'all!

"We are small, but we aren't podunk." - Chief Brown

Chief Brown was our esteemed speaker Wednesday giving us a recap of the 2025 year for Tulia Police Department.

The mission of Tulia Police Department is to serve in partnership and with the support of our community, in an effort to protect all citizens. We will recognize and respect the constitutional rights of all and will uphold local, state and federal laws, while maintaining the highest professional and ethical standard.

In 2025, Tulia PD received 8,423 calls for service. This was a 57% increase over 2024! Of those 8,423 calls, 745 incident reports were filed. There were 562 citations written in 2025 with an additional 819 warnings. Thanks for those warnings! With 12 Major Crimes in 2025, local law enforcement saw a 65% clearance rate. "Clearance" means a suspect or suspects have been identified, arrested, and cases have gone on to our County Attorney.

Moving back to those 8,423 calls for service for Tulia Police Department....the Tulia Police Department Telecommunications Center received 27,492 calls in 2025 PLUS an additional 3,632 9-1-1 calls. Wow! The Tulia Police Department Telecommunications Center provides service for 17 entities through Swisher and Briscoe Counties. They answer ALL incoming calls and maintain TCIC files for Tulia PD, Swisher County S.O., Kress PD, and Happy PD.

Tulia Animal Control is another hard working branch of the Tulia Tulia Police Department. Our local Animal Control officer was able to see to it that nearly 200 animals were rescued, reclaimed, or adopted in 2025. The State of Texas recognizes the Tulia Animal Shelter as a no-kill shelter due to the extremely low euthanasia count of 3 for both 2024 and 2025. Thank you, Officer Boudinot!

Being a police officer isn’t just a job — it’s a commitment to our community. Thank you to each member of the Tulia Police Department for all you do!

We hope you all left with full bellies and full hearts Saturday at breakfast with Santa 🎅

This is a “fun”draiser for the Club and we so enjoy all the happy faces every year. We served about 200 parents, grandparents, friends, aunts, uncles, and kids. Santa sure loved getting to hear from all the littles (and a few adults)!

Thank you to the Tulia Jr. High Student Council for all the help and to Patrice Sims for being our beloved photographer 📸❤️
