2 ●●● Where I Live


I spoke with both the Austin Police Department and with the Austin Fire Department to get the skinny on the best way to schedule a tour of their facilities.

 The Austin fire department is very open and interested in inviting scout groups to come check out their local fire houses.  Below are the instructions they gave on how to schedule your tour as well as a list of phone numbers and addresses of all of their stations.

 The Austin police department was also helpful, but it sounds like they don't have quite as much to tour.  Their suggestion was to contact your local District Representative.  The District Rep may be able to give you a tour of their local precinct building, or they may be willing to come out and meet with your den... it is up to each individual District Rep.  Below are the district reps for each of the regions.

Fire Department
In order to schedule a visit, please contact the fire house directly.  

 To plan your trip, you will first need to talk to the officer who will be on duty the day you wish to attend.  Since the shifts are usually held on a three day rotation, try calling three, six, nine or 12 days before you wish to visit - that way you have a greater chance of getting the officer who will be on duty on the day you wish to visit.

 Below are the contact numbers and addresses for each fire house

Please note:  these phone numbers are for scheduling tours only.  If you have an emergency, PLEASE contact 911 and do not call the numbers below!!!

Police Station
I contacted the central Austin Police Department and she informed me that they don't give tours of their main facility.  Apparently it is just a bunch of cubicles, and wouldn't really hold the interest of cub scouts :o)  

However, APD does have District Representatives that work as a liason between the police department and the community.  She suggested calling your local APD District Representatives.  Some of them may be able to give a tour of their local precinct, and some may be willing to come out to your den to give a talk. Below are the main contact numbers for each of the District Representatives:
