Tuesday’s Kempner City Council meeting had few action items, however Mayor John Wilkerson provided updates on Texas Commission on Law Enforcement requirements for municipal police departments. In his private capacity, Wilkerson recently was appointed to an advisory committee for TCOLE to discuss the development and implementation of minimum standards “for the curation and maintenance of the law agency in the state of Texas.” In Kempner’s November council meeting, Wilkerson reported that TCOLE was looking to make it more difficult for smaller cities to have police departments.
