Staff and Services Division

The Staff and Services Division are commanded by Deputy Chief Tony Vidaurri. The division consists of Communications, Crime Scene Operations, Property and Evidence, Police Records, Animal Services, and Parking Enforcement. The 22 employees in these sections are civilian personnel and their purpose is to support the police personnel and to serve the general public.

They perform the day to day activities it takes to run the police department. It is the civilian support personnel that a visitor or caller will meet and deal with when they contact the police department. Some of the duties and functions performed by the support staff for the public are:

·         Provide copies of traffic accidents and other reports
·         Issue permits (solicitors, parade, etc.)
·         Forward case reports to the appropriate agency for prosecution
·         Provide assistance to the public
·         Assist the police personnel as needed
·         Process requests for release of information
·         Maintain, process all police reports

The Cleburne Police Department maintained a jail until 2001. At that time the City of Cleburne executed a contract with Johnson County for the housing of all prisoners. All persons arrested by the Cleburne Police Department are taken directly to the county jail.

In mid 2008, the Cleburne City Council elected to remove all parking meters from city streets. The position of Parking Enforcement Officer was absorbed into Police Records. Parking enforcement is a duty performed by motorcycle traffic officers and patrol officers.
