Very sorry to hear about Chief Bacorn.

It is with profound sadness that the Town of Denton announces the death of Denton Police Chief George Bacorn following a motor vehicle collision.
The Town extends its deepest condolences to Chief Bacorn's family and the members of the Denton Police Department. We ask the public to please respect the family's privacy during this difficult time and keep his family, the Department, and the Town in their prayers. Additional details will follow.

The new school year is almost here!

When a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, ALL traffic must come to a complete stop — from both directions.

A citation for this offense carries a $570 fine and 3 points.

Never pass a stopped school bus, and always watch for children entering or crossing the roadway.

A few extra seconds could save a life.

Slow down. Stay alert. Keep our kids safe!

🚨 JURY DUTY SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Sheriff’s Office has received several reports this week of a phone scam where callers are claiming to be deputies from our office. The caller tells the victim they have a warrant for their arrest for missing jury duty and must make an immediate payment to avoid being taken into custody.

Our office will never call you in regard to missing jury duty.

⚠️ THIS IS A SCAM.

The Sheriff’s Office will never call you and demand payment for a warrant, and we will never ask for payment in gift cards, prepaid cards, or any similar method.

If you receive a call like this:
• Do not send money or provide gift card numbers
• Hang up immediately
• Report the call to your local law enforcement agency

Please help protect your friends and family by sharing this post, especially with elderly family members who are often targeted by scammers.

Stay safe and stay aware.
