Industry experts who conducted the assessment made 54 recommendations related to the deployment of resources, organizational structure, performance measures, community outreach and other areas to ensure that Sugar Land remains one of the safest cities in the country.
Sugar Land’s crime rate for 2017 was the lowest on record after hitting a 20-year low in 2016. Industry experts who conducted the assessment credited SLPD as one of the best run agencies they’ve evaluated in the nation.
