When it comes to racial relations both in county and nationwide, conversations can go a long way in bridging the gap, locals say.
Weatherford Police Chief Lance Arnold, who joined the city as chief in 2017, said he has seen a lot of extremism on both sides of social issues, and wants to see leaders on both sides engage in some real conversations about issues, including equality.
âI believe one positive that has come out of the [defund the police] movement are real discussions about many of the social issues the police are routinely asked to address, that have little to do with the actual functions of the police â such as maintaining safety, enforcing laws and preventing, detecting and investigating criminal activity,â he said.

Weatherford PDâs Travis McClure has been in law enforcement for almost nine years. Itâs been long enough for the Marine veteran, now an investigator and SWAT team member with WPD, to make a big impression on his colleagues, supervisors and the community.
That much was evident earlier this week, as he was announced as the Parker County American Legion Post 163âs Police Officer of the Year for 2020.
