Van Alstyne Police Department

We will be conducting weather siren testing at 10:00 am today.

MEMORIAL DAY

Today, the Van Alstyne Police Department pauses to honor and remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.
Their courage, dedication, and selfless sacrifice secured the freedoms we are privileged to enjoy each day. We remember not only their service, but also the families who carry their memory and sacrifice with them always.
As our community gathers with family and friends this Memorial Day, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of this day and honor those who gave all.
We will never forget.
