The Austin Police Department is no longer partnered with the Texas Department of Public Safety, as DPS officials focus their attention to the border crisis amid the end of Title 42.
Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon explained that because Texas DPS is being deployed heavily in border cities, their operations will temporarily cease in Austin. Texas DPS had been working with Austin authorities to investigate violent crimes and drug offenses.
"Over the last several weeks, they have assisted in lowering the number of calls related to violent crime, removed stolen guns and vehicles from the streets, and recovered large quantities of illegal narcotics, as well as helping to increase traffic safety in our city," the statement added. "Still we support their crucial work at the border and welcome them back as soon as possible. We remain committed to ensuring safety in our city and appreciate the cooperation of our law enforcement partners," the statement added.
