County approves interlocal agreement

The Commissioners Court re-approved the interlocal agreement between DeWitt County and the City of Yorktown for 24-hour law enforcement services at its regular meeting on September 9.

The City of Yorktown pays $262,500.00 per year ($21,875.00 monthly) for law enforcement services through the DeWitt County Sheriff’s Office.

“The county is accepting the responsibility of criminal law enforcement,” Sheriff Carl Bowen told the commissioners. “The responsibility of city ordinance enforcement remains the responsibility of the City of Yorktown.”
