Staffing levels have cratered at the Pilot Point Police Department, with the most recent resignations coming from long-time staff members Lt. Preston Green and Sgt. Justin Hull.
As of Tuesday, there were eight sworn officers on staff in the department, including Chief Angela Mathews, with six on the ground, four of which are on patrol, and two in field training.
“We are in full support of Chief Mathews, everything that she’s doing,” City Manager Britt Lusk said to the crowd at the PointBank Business Breakfast on Wednesday. “We support our police department, our public safety. … We are safe in Pilot Point, despite what you’re going to read.”
