The Troy Police Department was awarded a grant form the Texas State Comptroller's Office to assist with stopping minors from buying tobacco products. The Troy Police Department actively pursued this initiative through education, compliance and enforcement.
As a result, all of the tobacco retailers within our jurisdiction received education about the laws associated with selling tobacco products to minors. Additionally, the department provided compliance inspections and materials to assist with obtaining compliance. Furthermore, the department conducted several sting operations to ensure retailers were complying with state law.
Although all of our retailers were adversely affected by the initial sting operations, they were successful with future enforcement efforts. The Troy Police Department would like to thank the retailers for their willingness to comply with state law. Working together on issues like this will enhance the quality of life for our youth and our community.
The Troy Police Department has received numerous reports of mischief and other crimes in the 5d subdivision (Coby Dr., Blayton, Leah, etc..). Our department is diligently working on these cases and would like for citizens living in this area to report all suspicious activity and persons to our department.
The Troy Police Department was invited to attend the 2nd Annual Bicycle Rodeo coordinated by local resident Karen Machalek. Sgt.

Additionally, the Troy Police Department would like to extend thanks to Project Troy for their kind contribution of $200.00, which went towards the purchase of safety helmets and bicycle locks, and to the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce for the $20.00 donation, which help offset some operational expense. The police department would also like to extend a BIG thanks to the Temple Walmart for their kind contribution of 2 bicycles, which were raffled away. 
The Troy Police Department was recently invited by the Troy First Baptist Church to speak to the youth about gun safety. Sgt. Wolff and Officer Twait responded and met with several excited kids who were full of questions.
