Helotes Police Department

Helotes Police Department serves the City of Helotes, Texas, a community northwest of San Antonio incorporated in 1981 and organized as a Type A General Law City. Created more than 40 years ago, the department today consists of 29 sworn officers and two office employees who protect residents, businesses and visitors. Officers are expected to carry out the department's mission ethically and honorably. As a public service, the department runs a Patrol By program for households inside the Helotes city limits: residents who will be away for an extended period can submit a request, and an officer will drive by the home while it is empty. The department also advises travelers to stop mail delivery or have a neighbor collect it while they are gone.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Helotes city, TX has an estimated population of 9,372.
