The Fulshear Police Department released its latest crime and activity report, covering incidents from March 13 through April 14, 2025, revealing a total of 952 calls for service across the community. The report, which highlights everything from felony arrests to humorous animal encounters, is part of the department’s ongoing commitment to keeping residents informed and engaged.

“We believe in sharing not just the big stories but all the ways your officers are serving daily—from traffic stops to snakes in garages, because every call represents someone in need of help,” said Captain Dexter McCoy.

A “call for service” can include any incident for which residents request police support—whether it’s a suspicious person, a vehicle crash, an alarm activation, or even a loose farm animal wandering the neighborhood. The department noted that each report matters and plays a role in maintaining public safety.

Highlights from the March–April Crime Report

• Stolen Vehicle Recovery: Officers utilized the city’s FLOCK license plate reader system to track a stolen Kia on FM 359. A felony traffic stop led to one arrest and the vehicle being returned to its rightful owner.

• Impaired Driving: The department recorded four separate DWI arrests:

  • One driver was caught driving on rims with no tires, weaving onto sidewalks before becoming stranded in a field.
  • Another driver was traveling the wrong way on a major roadway and initially refused to pull over.
  • A third driver ran a stop sign, and officers discovered open containers inside the vehicle.
  • The fourth admitted to consuming alcohol and marijuana prior to driving.

“We’re thankful no one was hurt in some of these DWI incidents. One involved a car on rims weaving onto sidewalks—it could’ve ended very differently. Thanks to a resident’s quick call, it didn’t,” McCoy said.

• Construction Site Thefts:
  • Officers found four stolen residential windows inside a van during a routine traffic stop, resulting in two arrests and the release of one juvenile pending charges.

  • In a separate string of thefts, over 60 electrical breakers were taken from multiple job sites. Notably, there were no signs of forced entry, and one theft appeared to have been carried out through an unlocked side door—leading officers to believe the suspect had electrical knowledge.

• Business Burglary: Three suspects used a sledgehammer to break into The Bunker, a local business, stealing cash before fleeing the scene.

• Animal Encounters: Officers responded to 14 animal-related calls, from snakes and stray cows to a report of a dog allegedly chasing a child on a bike. 

• Alarm Calls: The department responded to 76 alarm calls, all of which were false. Officers encouraged residents to check their systems regularly to avoid unnecessary dispatches.

• Traffic Accidents: Officers handled 36 crashes, three involving non-life-threatening injuries.

• Mutual Aid: The Fulshear PD assisted neighboring agencies 41 times, often responding to urgent emergencies outside city limits until the appropriate jurisdiction arrived.

• House Watch Services: A total of 101 house watches were conducted for residents who were out of town. The service, available through the city’s Vacation Watch Program, helps provide peace of mind during travel.

Reinforcing Transparency and Community Trust

Captain McCoy emphasized the department’s ongoing goal to remain transparent with residents. “Our job isn’t just enforcement—it’s building trust. When we share what’s happening in your city, we’re asking you to be part of the solution, too. That’s what community policing is about.”

The department acknowledges the range of human behavior behind these incidents and encourages a measured view of criminal activity. “We believe the individuals arrested can learn from their situations. Mistakes are part of being human. It’s how we respond to them that truly defines our character,” McCoy said.

A Growing City, A Shared Responsibility

Fulshear continues to experience rapid population growth, and with it, new challenges. While communities like Cross Creek West, Jordan Ranch, and Churchill Farms carry a Fulshear mailing address, they often fall outside official city limits, meaning jurisdiction can differ. Nevertheless, the department reiterated its focus on safety for all.

“Our city may feel small, but the activity proves otherwise. Still, we remain one of the safest places in America—and that’s something we intend to protect every day,” said McCoy.

Residents are encouraged to stay connected with the department via official channels and to report any suspicious or urgent activity by calling 911 for emergencies, 281-341-4665 #1 for dispatch, or 281-346-8888 during weekday business hours.

The department also reminded residents that social media is not monitored 24/7, and should never be used to report incidents requiring immediate response.
