Williamson County, Texas

At this time, the COVID-19 pandemic has had little impact on patrol and criminal investigation activities. Deputies continue to patrol our streets and neighborhoods. They are responding to calls for service that require a law enforcement presence. Investigators are still responding to crime scenes, especially those involving violence. The department and its employees are adhering to social distancing requirements to the extent possible.

• Emergency/Life-Threatening calls or “In Progress” calls for service will be handled in the same manner as always and has not changed at this time.
• Non-Emergency/Routine calls for service will be handled over the telephone, if possible. If a deputy is required, our communications staff have been directed to ask if anyone in the household is exhibiting symptoms of the COVID-19 virus.
• Deputies will try to maintain a “social distance” out of concern and respect for the community to the extent possible or plausible.
