GOVERNMENT
A
city council-manager form of government oversees the operations
of the city, while the commissioners court supervises county
operations. Cooperation between these two governmental entities
is good and this climate of cooperation helps provide for
excellent law enforcement, fire protection for both city and
rural residents, and two ambulances staffed by trained
personnel.
The police department
employs 15 full-time individuals, there are 7 full-time fire
department personnel and 15 volunteers. Other law
enforcement includes the Ochiltree County Sheriff's Office.
