Forward To A Friend
A recent ranking placed Colleyville as the 11th safest city in
the United States.
Neighborhood Scout, a neighborhood-search website,
ranked the safest cities in the nation for 2017 using a
metric of the total number of property and violent crimes
per 1,000 residents from FBI crime data.
Colleyville is safer than 89-percent of cities in the country
with a population over 25,000, according to the data.
In a recent crime presentation, Police Chief Mike Holder
noted a 60-percent drop in violent crime in Colleyville in
2016 compared to 2015.
The city did see an increase in residential burglaries in
2016, which police attribute to a rise in shed burglaries.
The city's property crime rate remains well below the Texas
average, according to Neighborhood Scout.
Oak Ridge, Tenn. took the list's top spot. The next Texas
city on the list is Little Elm, which came in at 22.
