Public Safety Staffing and Promotions
Cleburne is ditching the age cap for new police recruits, opening the door for older career-changers to join the force. It’s a major shift that could help the department fill empty spots and bring more life experience to the streets.
Rat Infestation
A rabid skunk was spotted in Cleburne, so it's time to be extra careful with your pets and keep your distance from local wildlife. Make sure your dog or cat is up to date on their rabies shots to keep everyone safe.
Unauthorized Camping on Private Property
The city is looking at a new law to stop people from camping on private land without permission. The goal is to protect property owners from cleanup costs and safety issues while the city works on better ways to help the homeless population.
Public Health Emergency
Half of Cleburne is under a boil water notice right now, so don't drink straight from the tap. You'll need to boil your water before using it for cooking or brushing your teeth to avoid getting sick.
Fire Equipment Purchase
Cleburne is getting a brand new ladder truck for the fire department, meaning faster and safer emergency responses for everyone. It's a major win for upgrading local safety gear.
