The Frisco Police Department was established in 1965 to service what, at the time, was a very small farming community.
In 1965 and years soon thereafter, the department resembled nothing of today’s progressive police agency.
As recently as 2000, the department consisted of 50 employees, including the Chief of Police and dispatchers.
To put that in perspective, there are nearly 300 sworn officers and over 100 non-sworn civilian staff currently.
The Police Department started its operations in a small, old house on Oak Street that had previously been the home of Dr.
Erwin Pink’s medical practice.
Police headquarters would later move to 8750 McKinney Road (the current location of the Frisco Boys & Girls Club) where the facilities grew to include a holding cell for the temporary housing of prisoners.
Later, with the increasing size of the agency, the Police Department added an annex facility to house the Criminal Investigation Division and Community Services Division , as well as a substation in Stonebriar Centre after its opening for some of the Patrol Division.
