What does this office do?
A Muenster Alderman is a member of Muenster’s city council. The Police Commissioner title means that council member is the council’s point person for police matters, not a sworn police officer. They help review public safety needs, police-related ordinances, budgets, staffing, and concerns brought to City Hall. Their authority is local to the City of Muenster.
They do not run Gainesville, Cooke County, the sheriff’s office, or state police. They also do not personally command officers or make arrests. The police chief and city staff handle day-to-day law enforcement, while the aldermen act together in public meetings to set policy and approve spending. For a Gainesville resident, think of this as a small-town council member with a special focus on Muenster police issues.
