The Kerrville Police Department is set to release the unredacted 911 calls from the July 4th Hill Country floods.  The release comes in response to Freedom of Information Act requests submitted by eight media outlets.  The decision was made in compliance with federal law, following a thorough review process that considered caller privacy and legal requirements.

The department collaborated closely with the Texas Attorney General’s Office to ensure the release adhered to all legal standards.
