Not every traffic stop ends in a citation. Sometimes it’s a friendly “talkin’ to” and a reminder to slow down.
Holiday plans start with safe arrivals, folks. Please stay focused on the road.

Today, we celebrated the retirement of Assistant Chief Willie Richards and his remarkable 30 years of service with the Round Rock Police Department. Willie has been a driving force behind some of our most impactful initiatives, including our Step N2 Success program and the construction of the Round Rock Public Safety Training Center. His leadership will leave a lasting mark on our department, and his legacy will continue to be felt for years to come.
As we wish him well in his next chapter as Chief of Police with the Pflugerville Police Department, we take pride in knowing he will continue to serve with the same commitment and heart he brought to RRPD.
Willie — your lightheartedness and smile will be deeply missed. We wish you the absolute very best as you take on your new role!
