Between April 15 and June 22, 2025, the Fulshear Police Department responded to 1,583 calls for service—each one a snapshot of the evolving safety needs in one of Texas’s fastest-growing communities.

From light-hearted oddities—like a “stubborn alligator” refusing to leave a porch—to high-risk incidents involving felony warrants, impaired drivers, and stolen vehicles, officers have remained a steadfast presence. The department’s recent crime report offers Fulshear residents both a transparent glimpse into law enforcement activity and a reminder of the critical partnership between police and the public in keeping the city secure.

What Counts as a “Call for Service”?

According to the department, a call for service includes “anything that seems wrong, odd, loud, alarming, broken, missing, barking, or even mooing.” The report reflects a wide scope of public concerns—ranging from traffic accidents and suspicious activity to house watch requests, animal control calls, and burglar alarms.

In total:

• Animal-related calls numbered 16 and included snakes, loose cows, and gators unwilling to relocate.
• Alarm calls totaled 115—all false alarms.
• Traffic accidents came in at 69, with seven resulting in injuries (none life-threatening).
• House watches—a popular service for vacationing residents—reached 235.
• Officer assistance to other agencies was provided 94 times, especially near city boundaries and during emergencies when Fulshear officers were the closest available unit.

Incidents of Note: From Strange to Serious

Several standout cases were highlighted for their lessons, levity, and, in some cases, sheer audacity.

• Workplace Violence: A dispute between coworkers turned violent when one pulled a knife and stabbed the other. The suspect fled but was swiftly apprehended—with the weapon still in hand.

• DWI Repeat Offender: After crashing one vehicle, a suspected intoxicated driver returned in another. It was his fourth DWI—a “second car, same bad idea” scenario.

• Felony Fraud Admission: One driver caught speeding 30 mph over the limit admitted he “might” have a warrant. He did. For felony fraud.

• Human Smuggling Warrant: A partially obscured license plate led officers to discover a serious felony warrant for human smuggling. The driver was arrested on the spot.

• Drug-Free Zone Violation: Marijuana, a THC vape pen, and cocaine were discovered during a traffic stop within 1,000 feet of a school—resulting in felony charges under Drug-Free Zone statutes.

• Backyard Dispute: A child's home run broke a fence picket, prompting a neighbor to retaliate by damaging the family’s property and a weather sensor. One arrest, and "several lessons learned," the report noted.

• Canine Co-Pilot: One stolen car case included a noncompliant but unharmed canine passenger. Officers ensured the dog was properly cared for after the driver’s arrest.

How to Reach the Fulshear Police Department

In an effort to streamline communication and avoid delays, the department reminds residents:

• Dial 911 for emergencies or crimes in progress.

• For non-emergencies, call 281-341-4665 #1 or 281-346-2202 #1. Dispatch is handled by the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office, who coordinate with Fulshear PD.

• The administrative line at 281-346-8888 is available Monday–Friday, but is not for dispatching officers.

• And perhaps most critically: Do not use Facebook to report emergencies or request dispatch.

Fulshear Remains Among the Nation’s Safest Cities

Despite the volume of incidents and a few eyebrow-raising arrests, Fulshear continues to rank as one of the safest cities in the United States. The department attributes this success to collaboration with residents and a shared commitment to accountability and clear communication.

“We believe in accountability, second chances, and clear communication,” the department wrote. “That’s why we share what’s happening with honesty, transparency, and the occasional chuckle.”

As the city continues to grow, so too will the calls for service. But with strong community ties and a responsive local police force, Fulshear is poised to maintain its reputation for safety—and a touch of good humor.
