Safety and security in Hot Springs Village is a top priority.  The Village has the lowest crime rates in the state and with 5 manned or electronically monitored entry gates, residents can feel secure about the safety of their family and possessions.

The West Gate is located on North Highway 7 and is staffed 24-hours a day.  The East Gate is located on Highway 5 and is staffed from 5:30 a.m. until 10:30 p.m.  Access through other Village gates allow entry only by computerized identification cards.

The Village has four fire stations located strategically throughout the area and a fully staffed police force is resident inside the Village with deputies covering both Saline and Garland counties.

A Village Animal Shelter is responsible for picking up stray animals and advising property owners about nuisance wildlife.  The Animal Welfare League oversees the adoption desk, promotes the shelter, and provides funds for veterinarian bills.
