Watauga Police Department

A HUGE thank you to the whole crew at the Watauga Fire Department for allowing us to help out with their annual Fire Camp. If you missed out this year, start planning now for next! They do an amazing job working with these kids and the community can be proud of how they are building into the future of Watauga's best and brightest!

Watauga Police Department is seeking to identify the individual pictured in connection with a fraud investigation.

On May 21, 2026, the unknown male suspect provided the victim’s Social Security card and presented a passport in the victim’s name in an attempt to withdraw funds from her account at EECU Bank in Watauga.

Anyone with information regarding the suspect is asked to contact Detective M. Muller at 817-514-5781 or [email protected].

🐾 Nothing like ending the school year with a little K9 action and drone flying.🚓

This morning, Sgt Justin Todd, Det. Bell and Ofc. Cooper stopped by Whitley Elementary’s Field Day to give students a hands-on look at some of the tools and training used by Watauga PD.

Students got to watch K9 Chase in action during a live demo, check out a police drone demonstration, and yes… they even got to meet and pet Chase afterward. Safe to say he was the star of the show.

Thank you to Whitley Elementary for having us out. We love opportunities like this to connect with our community and hopefully inspire a few future officers along the way.
