The Bandera City Marshal's Office is pleased to announce a groundbreaking partnership with CivicEye, a leading technology company specializing in innovative solutions for law enforcement agencies. Marshal Nancy De Foster, at the forefront of modernizing law enforcement practices, has spearheaded this collaboration to enhance community safety and engagement.
The partnership aims to leverage CivicEye's cutting-edge technology to improve transparency, efficiency, and overall effectiveness in law enforcement operations. CivicEye's platform offers advanced tools for data management, community outreach, and public communication, aligning with the Marshal's Office commitment to serve and protect the City of Bandera.
"We are excited to partner with CivicEye to bring state-of-the-art technology to our law enforcement efforts," De Foster said. "This collaboration will enable us to enhance community relations, streamline our operations, and ultimately create a safer and more connected environment for the residents of Bandera."
CivicEye's platform will empower the Bandera Marshal's Office with features such as real-time incident reporting, community alerts, and interactive mapping. Residents will have a more direct and participatory role in public safety, fostering a collaborative approach between law enforcement and the community.

VACATION WATCH PROGRAM
The Vacation Watch Program, re-launched under the leadership of De Foster, is designed to safeguard homes and properties when residents are away.
The Vacation Watch Program offers Bandera residents the opportunity to request increased police patrols and security checks of their homes while they are on vacation. This voluntary program is part of the Bandera City Marshal's Office commitment to proactive community policing, fostering a sense of security and trust among residents.
Marshal Nancy De Foster emphasized the community-centric approach of the Vacation Watch Program, stating, "Our goal is to create a stronger, more secure community by addressing the needs and concerns of our residents. The Vacation Watch Program is a proactive measure to ensure the safety of homes when our community members are away, giving them peace of mind.”
Participation in the Vacation Watch Program is simple. Currently, residents can either call or visit the Marshal’s Office, at 511 Main St. in Bandera, to provide details about vacation dates and any additional information that might be relevant for officers on patrol.
Beginning February 1st, residents may also submit a request through the Bandera Marshal's Office website at https://www.banderatx.gov/marshals-office.
Key features of the Vacation Watch Program include:
  • Increased Patrols: Specially designated officers will conduct additional patrols around registered homes to deter criminal activity.
  • Property Checks: Officers will visually inspect the property for any signs of suspicious activity or security breaches.
  • Community Engagement: The program encourages a collaborative effort between law enforcement and residents, fostering a sense of partnership in maintaining neighborhood security.

De Foster invites residents to take advantage of this valuable program, stating, "Our community is stronger when we work together. The Vacation Watch Program is a testament to our commitment to community safety, and we encourage residents to utilize this service."
