A message from Chief of Police - Darrell Bush
Welcome to the Nederland Police Department website. The Nederland Police Department
is committed to providing the best in law enforcement and protection to the citizens
of Nederland Texas. We are aware that a safe community is the product of cooperation
between citizens and their local police. I am pleased to say that Nederland has a
close working relationship between the citizens we serve and the Nederland Police
Department.
The Nederland Police Department participates in various community based programs
including, Crime Stoppers, Neighborhood Watch, Seniors and Law Enforcement Together,
the Nederland Chamber of Commerce, the Nederland Heritage Festival, and various other
civic organizations.
We have an officer assigned on a full time basis as a School Resource Officer.
This officer works primarily at Nederland High School and our two middle schools.
The SRO program has been very successful in several ways. It provides a measure of
security at the schools, the officer at the schools handles criminal investigations
on the school campuses, thus relieving patrol officers from that duty, and he works
as a liaison between the school district, it's students and the Police Department.
The criminal investigation division consists of four full time detectives, along with a
full time officer assigned to the Jefferson County Narcotics Task Force.
Our Police Department stands ready to help you in any way possible. If I or any
Nederland Police Department officer can be of assistance, please do not hesitate
to call on us.
