With the rapid rate of growth we're experiencing, along with it comes problems that the City of Killeen and its officials may not be aware of, and its up to US to make sure they are on top of things.

The City of Killeen is offering several opportunities for residents to get involved in what's going on and have a voice in matters that are important to the future of Killeen.

Citizens can apply to join boards and commissions that work along side the city council to plan events, propose changes and also have a say in the awarding of funding. There are several boards and commissions to choose from.

Also, Citizen Academies gives citizens an inside look at how government and police work in our community. This also gives you an opportunity to communicate directly with people that handle the most pressing issues in our community.
