As the new Chief of Italy, I was amazed at the support of this community and making the 2011 National Night Out a tremendous success.

We had over 250 in attendance! I would like to personally thank everyone that assisted with this event and especially the local businesses and organizations who made money and service donations.

We could not have made this a great event without your help.

I would also like to thank the Ellis County District Attorney, Patrick Wilson, and Ellis County Sheriff, Johnny Brown for taking time out of their busy schedules and attending Italy’s National Night Out.

I am very proud of this community and we, the Italy Police Department, are committed to serving you.
