The mission of the Ovilla Police Department is to assist our citizens, and the public in general, with maintaining a safe and peaceful environment for all those who reside, work, or travel through the City of Ovilla.  

We will accomplish this by first and always realizing the historic tradition, “The Police are the Public, and the Public are the Police”.  We must be mindful that the ability for us to successfully perform our duties is greatly dependent upon the public’s approval of our overall existence, actions, and behavior.  

The way we perform our duties will always reflect the highest standards of police and human excellence. 

-Joey Bennett, Chief of Police
