About CPD

In 1871, the Cleburne Police Department was established as a town constable, which later became city marshal. Today the department is a modern, progressive, full-service municipal police agency with an authorized strength of 55 sworn (civil service) officers, 30 reserve officers, and 20 civilian employees. The annual department budget is $8.8 million. We provide law enforcement services 24 hours a day, every day of the year to our residents, businesses and visitors.

Cleburne is home to 32,493 people and the county seat of Johnson County, Texas. The city is located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex on US 67, just 50 miles southwest of downtown Dallas, and a one-hour drive from DFW International Airport. The city encompasses 35.5 square miles with plenty of land available for expansion. Significant growth has continued since the 2014 opening of the Chisholm Trail Parkway, a 28-mile toll road from I-30 in downtown Fort Worth to US 67 in Cleburne.

Our mission is to protect and serve Cleburne by delivering legitimate, consistent, economical police services that result in the highest level of stakeholder value and satisfaction. We work in partnership with our citizens for the mutual purpose of promoting safe streets and neighborhoods, creating a community free from the fear of crime, and improving the overall quality of life. The department operates under a community policing philosophy committed to intelligence-led policing and a high level of customer service.

Our vision is to be a world-class police department serving the best community in North Texas. Our values are integrity, service and excellence. We have been an accredited agency through the Texas Law Enforcement Best Practices Accreditation Program since 2016.
