The Volunteer Fire Department has grown to one of the finest in the state. Dedicated members respond to community needs at all hours of the day or night, and provide a 911 emergency medical service to the entire community free of charge. The city government provides the best equipment and training available. From the early days of one constable, White Settlement has established one of the finest police forces in the state. In 1991 the Police Department has 14 vehicles.
Police protection is provided at the envilable rate of more than one patrol car per square mile.
This type of protection is difficult to provide in larger cities. With strict code enforcement and continual upgrading of ordinances, the quality of construction in White Settlement is equivalent to that of other contemporary cities. Replacement of the old Village Apartments with modern housing and continual code enforcement on older structures, the architecture of White Settlement is as good as, or even better, than other metroplex communities. Large and small churches of just about every denomination are located in the city. The original Baptist church has grown into the First Baptist Church of White Settlement, with a branch west of the city in West Point.
