Kyle Police presents "A Call to Men"
A CALL TO MEN works to create a world where all men & boys are loving and respectful and all women & girls are valued and safe. A CALL TO MEN educates men all over the world on healthy, respectful manhood. Embracing and promoting a healthy, respectful manhood prevents violence against women, sexual assault and harassment, bullying and many other social ills. A CALL TO MEN is a violence prevention organization and respected leader on issues of manhood, male socialization and its intersection with violence, and preventing violence against all women and girls. A CALL TO MEN has 20+ years of experience working with and training men, from the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League, to the United States Military, the Department of Justice and the United Nations.
This class is strictly for High School males. Future classes will be geared for middle school males. The class will be held over the course of nine weeks. The first session will be an hour and half in length with the remaining classes lasting 45 minutes. The group will meet every Tuesday at 5 p.m. starting January 10, 2017, at the Kyle Police Department.

UPDATE: Road closure and detour on
Bunton Creek Rd.
Bunton Creek Road remains closed to East Bound traffic from the Interstate-Highway 35, East frontage road to the Kyle Fire Department Station 2. West bound Bunton Creek Road traffic can use Bunton Creek Road to access IH 35. East bound Bunton Creek Road traffic will need to use Kyle Parkway to Dacy to access Bunton Creek Road. The private drive off Bunton Creek, which runs north-south between Bunton Creek Road and Kyle Parkway will also be closed at times at the Bunton Creek Road Intersection as a result of the Bunton Creek Road reconstruction.
City engineers estimate Bunton Creek Road within these limits will be closed for approximately four weeks, which could be affected by weather. After that time, traffic will be able to travel east on Bunton Creek Road and west up to Dacy Lane.
This project is part of the 2013 road bond package passed by Kyle voters. See the attached map for a visual overview of the closure and detour. Additional closures will happen in the coming weeks and months as the contractor proceeds with repairing Bunton Creek Road all the way to Lehman Road.

Keeping your home safe this holiday season
Below are some tips for keeping your home safe this season, courtesy of the Kyle Police Department:
- Call KPD for a vacation home watch while you're out of town.
- Arrange for delivered packages to be picked up by a trusted friend or family member or have packages delivered to your work address.
- Consider not putting Christmas gifts under the tree for anyone to see through open windows/curtains.
- Keep garage and shed doors closed and locked even when you're home.
- Consider installing an internet-connected doorbell monitor that allows you to talk with people at your door and record activity.
- Identify anyone at the door before opening, including delivery company personnel.
- Don't place empty boxes from purchases (i.e., large screen TVs, game machines, etc.) out for trash pick up.
