ABOVE:  In February of 1986, NBPD began its first-ever take-home car program, where each officer was assigned a specific vehicle and it went home with them at the end of the day.  Chief Burney Boeck (above, left) hands the keys to Off. Kevin Clayton.  Chief Boeck told the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung that the take-home program increased the department’s presence in the community.  The new cars also helped the department have a more uniform and professional look, with the colors on the car matching the uniforms officers wore at the time.
