Officials in Milam County held a town hall meeting Saturday to give residents more information about the recent attacks on elderly women that have occurred in surrounding areas.
Attendees were also told what is being done to keep people safe.
Though none of the attacks have happened in Milam, the county is trying to be proactive, since some of the assaults were close to the county line.
Off duty deputies are voluntarily working overtime on the north and northwestern parts of the county to respond to suspicious activity calls.
They're conducting traffic stops to identify possible leads, and conducting 'close patrols' when homeowners request it.
They're also asking residents to report any suspicious vehicles, people or activity.
