How Do You Feel About Police Services?

If you live in Plano, please take the Plano Police Department’s Annual Citizen Survey online. Help the Department measure how it meets our community's needs and expectations.  


These key questions assist the Department in determining citizen perceptions of safety, quality of life and quality of police services. The survey also allows you to convey your priorities for law enforcement. Community feedback serves as a "report card" and provides insight into the process of establishing goals, enhancing training and shaping the future of the Police Department. 


Everyone is encouraged to complete the survey, including those who took it last year.  


Thank you so much for your cooperation, continued support and for taking time to help identify areas of improvement!

Laborers Join City Council in Celebrating the Newly Named Facility

In 2021, City Council voted to rename the City's Day Labor Center in memory of Adrian Magallanes. Last week, the formal dedication celebrated the honor with Adrian's family, coworkers and laborers. He was the supervisor to the Center. His commitment to improving processes and the lives of those being served earned him the distinction of being the 2011 Employee of the Year.
