As part of the monthly series “How El Paso Works”, this month we are exploring El Paso’s Police Department and comparing it to the services available 150 years ago in El Paso. Spoilers: Joseph Magoffin played a part. This is an interactive event with a guest speaker and question-and-answer opportunities.

When Joseph Magoffin helped write the articles of Incorporation for El Paso, he helped shape the modern city. “How El Paso Works” will compare Joseph’s vision for El Paso to what is has become in the last 150 years. Guest speakers from municipal agencies are invited to speak about their departments and let us know why and when we might need to call upon them to help us keep El Paso thriving.

This is a series meant to help us all become more aware of and confident in using city services available to us all and to celebrate 150 years of being an incorporated city in Texas. Please register ahead of time by calling 915-533-5147, ext. 1002, or email magoffin-home@thc.texas.gov
