Kaufman County Constables Office to Open New Substation on Lake Ray Hubbard Drive
Kaufman County, TX

February 17, 2025

In a move aimed at enhancing public safety and response times, the Kaufman County Constables Office is set to unveil a new substation later this year, strategically positioned on Lake Ray Hubbard Drive near the Travis Ranch community. This development promises a significant boost to the law enforcement and emergency medical services in the area.

The new substation will not only serve as a base for constables but will also house an ambulance, ensuring that emergency medical services are readily available. With the inclusion of multiple patrol vehicles, the facility is designed to drastically reduce response times, providing peace of mind and enhanced security for the residents of Travis Ranch and surrounding areas.

The decision to establish this substation comes in response to the growing population and the subsequent demand for quicker law enforcement presence. The Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office has long recognized the need for a more localized approach to policing, similar to initiatives seen in other counties like Harris and Galveston, where substations have proven effective in community policing and crime prevention.

Enhanced Community Safety:

Faster Response Times: With patrol vehicles and an ambulance stationed close to Travis Ranch, the substation will allow for immediate dispatch to incidents, significantly cutting down the time it takes for help to arrive.
Community Policing: The substation will foster a closer relationship between law enforcement officers and the community. This approach has been noted for its effectiveness in areas like Harris County, where community-based policing concepts have been implemented to great success.
Emergency Medical Services: The presence of an ambulance at the substation will be a game-changer for emergency medical responses in what is currently an underserved area in terms of immediate medical intervention.

The Kaufman County Constables Office has been working diligently to prepare this facility, focusing on both the physical infrastructure and the operational aspects to ensure seamless integration into the existing law enforcement and emergency response framework. The substation will be equipped with modern amenities to support the officers, including offices for administrative work, holding cells for temporary detentions, and facilities for evidence processing.

Community Engagement and Feedback:

The community of Travis Ranch has expressed enthusiasm for this project, with many residents looking forward to the increased visibility and presence of law enforcement. Public forums and community meetings have been held to discuss the development, gather feedback, and ensure that the substation meets the specific needs of the area.

Looking Forward:

While an exact opening date hasn’t been confirmed, the substation is expected to be operational by the end of 2025. This addition to Kaufman County’s law enforcement infrastructure not only reflects the county’s commitment to public safety but also sets a precedent for how community safety can be enhanced through strategic placement and resource allocation.

As we await the official opening, the anticipation grows for a safer, more responsive community environment around Lake Ray Hubbard Drive, emphasizing the importance of local law enforcement presence in modern community management.
