Town of Flower Mound

During last night’s Town Council meeting, Town Manager James Childers and Mayor Cheryl Moore recognized multiple employees for the many years of service they’ve dedicated to Flower Mound. ❤️ Each celebrating 15 years with the Town, they recognized Property Standards Manager Christa Crowe, Sergeant Cristopher Womack, Sergeant James Pulis, and School Resource Officer Traci Hooper. We’d also like to recognize some employees who weren’t able to join us for this meeting, including Detective Brandon Belk for 15 years of service, Deputy Town Marshal Judy Broderick for 20 years of service, and Police Officer Joe Gray for 25 years of service. Thank you all for your dedication to this great community!

It's the first day of school for our School Resource Officers! 🍎✏️ We decided to start the new school year off with a little prank. Thankfully, all our SROs are great sports. Here are the questions they actually answered: 1. How many years have you been an SRO? 2. In your opinion, what’s the cutest animal? 3. Would you eat a spider for $10,000? 4. Jags or Marauders? 5. Would you kiss a live rattlesnake for $10 6. If you could be naturally talented at one thing, what would it be? 7. Who’s your favorite celebrity? 8. What’s your favorite time of day? We’re so excited for another fun year with these SROs! 💚💙

Peters Colony Memorial Park is officially open! Thank you to everyone who joined us for last night’s ribbon cutting and to all who played a role in bringing this beautiful park to life. Designed as a tribute to past, present, and future residents, the park (at 3201 Peters Colony Rd., adjacent to the Flower Mound Public Library) is truly a unique addition to Flower Mound.   We must also give a special thank you to Flower Mound centenarian Doug Brown for his many years of service to the community.
