Movie List
Happy in the Holidays Program
Alvin Police Department Courtesy Rides to Drivers impaired by holiday celebrations support safer streets in and around Alvin. The ride is free and the department only asks for a 30 minute notice. Give us a call or make sure you have a designated driver to drive you home. Please do not drive while impaired as it is illegal and doing so will put the lives of yourself, those in the car with you, and others on the road in danger, not to mention the possibility of a DWI, which can wreck a family and career.

The Alvin Police Department wishes you and yours a SAFE and HAPPY holiday season.
Alvin Press Conference
The Charlie Davis Group – an association of retired and current NFL football stars – recently joined with FACESIQ software to launch the first of its community support initiatives in Texas. At a press conference in Alvin, near Houston, Charlie Davis presented the Alvin Department of Police with a gift of FacesIQ software, outfitting the entire police force with this cutting edge crime-fighting tool that generates photo-like composite illustrations of criminals and suspects based upon victim and witness descriptions. As part of the Charlie Davis Group's "Caring and Sharing" program, the donation is a way for NFL stars to give back to their communities and join with other supporters to improve the quality of life. The program also provides Anti-Crime Awareness training for children in area schools.
