Message from Police Chief Ruben Loreto

 As your Police Chief, I am honored to serve the City of Von Ormy and to lead a department that is deeply committed to the safety and well-being of every resident. Our goal is to build a strong and trusting relationship between the police and the community. We do this by being visible, approachable, and responsive to your concerns. I believe that public safety is a team effort and together we can make our city stronger and safer.

One of the key strategies we use is the “broken windows” style of policing. This means we focus on solving small problems like broken streetlights, abandoned vehicles, or loose animals before they grow into bigger issues. Taking care of these smaller problems shows that we care about every part of our city and helps prevent more serious crime. Our officers are working closely with the code enforcement and animal control divisions to make sure our neighborhoods are clean, orderly, and safe.

We understand that quality of life is just as important as public safety. That is why we are also making improvements in how we handle issues such as stray animals and property violations. These efforts are not just about rules. They are about protecting families, supporting responsible property ownership, and making Von Ormy a city we are all proud to call home.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. I look forward to working with each of you as we continue to move our city forward with respect, fairness, and a shared commitment to a better future.

Sincerely,
 Chief Ruben Loreto
City of Von Ormy Police Department
