Scammers are getting creative, and we've noticed an increase in scams lately, especially targeting seniors in our community.

Whether you're shopping online or in person, a few simple precautions can help keep your money and personal information safe!

🛒 Verify Online Stores: Be cautious of shopping links you see on social media. Instead of clicking the link, go directly to the retailer's website by typing the address yourself. Make sure the website starts with "https" and double-check that you're shopping with a legitimate business. Remember, just because a website looks real doesn't mean it is!

💳 Tap to Pay: Whenever possible, use tap to pay instead of swiping or inserting your card. It's a safer way to pay and can help protect your card information from skimming devices.

✋ Don't Hand Off Your Card: Never let someone else use your debit or credit card, and don't allow a salesperson or anyone else to walk away with it. Keep your card in sight during every transaction.

❤️ We also have a favor to ask: Check in on the seniors in your life. Take a few minutes to talk with your parents, grandparents, neighbors, or friends about how to shop safely and recognize potential scams.

A quick conversation today could save someone from becoming a victim tomorrow.

Let's look out for each other, Weatherford! 💙

We hope everyone has a fun night filled with costumes, candy, and lots of sweet memories!

Before your little police officers and firefighters head out for trick-or-treating, take a minute to talk with them about crossing the street safely.

Look both ways before crossing, and never assume a driver sees you. Teach your kids to make eye contact with the person behind the wheel and wait until the vehicle has come to a complete stop before stepping into the street.

And drivers, remember that excited little trick-or-treaters aren't always paying attention to their surroundings. Please slow down, stay alert, and watch for children crossing the road.

Let's all do our part to make sure the scariest thing about tonight is the costumes!

Have a safe and Happy Halloween from all of us at WPD!

The Vice President is visiting Weatherford tomorrow! Our officers will be out in full force to help keep everyone safe during his visit.

To help with this, a few road closures and traffic changes will be in place from 10:30am to 3:30pm:

🚧Ric Williamson Highway: Closed from I-20 to Greenwood Road.

🚧Ranger Highway: Closed to through traffic between Greenwood Cutoff Road and Greenwood Road. If you work or live on this road, you will be able to use this road. Just let the person directing traffic know!

⚠Mineral Wells Highway: Eastbound traffic will be moved to the inside lane, similar to the traffic pattern used during the rodeo.

If you need to get around these closures, South Bowie Drive and Greenwood Road will be available as alternate routes.

If you're traveling through the area, please plan ahead, allow a little extra time, and follow the directions of officers managing traffic.

We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as we work to keep everyone safe during the visit!

Please help us welcome Officers Nick Ablay and Hunter McDonald to the Weatherford Police Department! Both officers bring a wealth of experience, a heart for service, and a strong commitment to making a difference in our community.

Officer Nick Ablay comes to us after serving 20 years in the United States Air Force! After retiring in 2025, Nick decided to pursue his longtime interest in law enforcement. He and his family moved to Weatherford last summer, quickly fell in love with our community, and now he gets to help protect the place they call home! When he's off duty, you'll likely find him grilling, smoking meat, woodworking, or spending time with his wife and daughters.

Officer Hunter McDonald joins us after five years in the United States Army, where he served as a Ranger with the 2nd Ranger Battalion. His military career included a deployment to Iraq and earning the Distinguished Honor Graduate Darby Award at Ranger School! Hunter was drawn to law enforcement by the same thing that inspired his military service: the opportunity to be part of something bigger than himself and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

These two officers have already dedicated years of their lives to serving our country, and we're proud they've chosen to continue that service right here in Weatherford.

Help us give Officers Ablay and McDonald a warm Weatherford welcome! 👏💙

Today at 12:01 pm, our officers responded to a person in distress in the 2400 block of South Main Street. The male was later spotted on the Main Street Bridge, climbing over the railing. Officers and negotiators were on scene and, with the coordination and assistance of our local partners, were able to safely remove the individual and ensure he receives the appropriate medical care. These partners include the Texas Department of Public Safety, Parker County Sheriff's Office, Parker County Hospital District EMS, and the Weatherford Fire Department. We are always thankful for the teamwork within our community when tough calls like this come in.

September kept our officers and dispatchers busy! From 3,685 calls for service to 1,346 traffic stops and 188 crashes, here's a look at what was happening around Weatherford last month.

But there's one number we want to talk about that you won't find on this graphic. We've seen an increase in fraud reports recently, particularly from people discovering unauthorized charges on their credit or debit cards.

Unfortunately, you don't always know your card information has been compromised until those unexpected charges start showing up. Here are a few ways to help protect yourself:

🔹 Shop smart online. Look for "https" and the padlock symbol in your browser before entering payment information and never access websites from a link on social media -- type the website directly into your browser.

🔹 Don't leave cards in your vehicle. Locked or unlocked, your vehicle is not a safe place to store credit cards, debit cards, or other valuables.

🔹 Keep your PIN private. Don't share your PIN or allow others to use your cards.

🔹 Keep an eye on your card. When paying at a business, try to keep your card in sight and watch for anything unusual about the payment terminal.

🔹 Check your accounts regularly. Turn on transaction alerts through your bank or credit card company so you can catch suspicious charges quickly.

If you notice a charge you don't recognize, contact your bank or card issuer immediately. The sooner you report it, the better!

We love sharing our monthly numbers with you, but we'd much rather keep you OUT of next month's crime statistics! 😉💙

Our Crime Scene van got a facelift, thanks to the Weatherford Police & Fire Foundation!

Our trusty Crime Scene van still has plenty of life left in it, but after years of service, the graphics were peeling and showing their age. It was time for a fresh look that better reflects the professionalism and pride our Crime Scene Investigation Unit brings to the job every day.

A HUGE thank you to the Weatherford Police & Fire Foundation for making this makeover possible and to 4-D Auto Solutions for doing such a fantastic job giving our van a new look!

We're grateful for the continued support of our Police Foundation and the community members who make projects like this possible!

What's scarier than Weatherford Parks and Recreation's Monster Bash?
>>Being stuck in traffic because you didn't know it's happening. 😱😱😱

👻 If you're NOT headed to Monster Bash on Saturday, October 10, from 6–10 PM at Heritage Park, you may want to steer clear of Santa Fe Drive and Fort Worth Highway. Try taking Bankhead Drive or Main Street to get where you need to go.

🦇 If you ARE going, you're in for a frightfully fun time! Just remember to pack a little patience and watch out for your fellow devilish drivers. There's nothing scarier than a traffic jam full of monsters! 🚗🧟‍♂️

Stay safe, drive carefully, and have a spooktacular time! 🎃
