Police Chief Mike Holder to retire Nov. 30
Colleyville's Chief of Police is hanging up his badge after six
years with the City of Colleyville. Michael Holder, Police
Chief and Public Safety Director, has scheduled his last day
on Nov. 30, 2017.
"It has been a true blessing to serve the citizens of
Colleyville for the past six years," Holder said. "The
Colleyville community is well served by the dedicated
employees that provide exceptional services day in and day
out.
"I am also extremely grateful to the members of the
community who have supported me personally and
professionally in ways too many to mention."
Holder joined Colleyville in 2011. Under his leadership,
Colleyville was annually recognized as one of the safest
cities in Texas. The city saw a steady year-over-year drop
in Part 1 crimes. The city's crime rate has fallen by 52-
percent since 2010. This was achieved by introducing new
policing tactics and strengthening relationships with the
community.
"Chief Holder was instrumental in modernizing every aspect
of the Colleyville Police Department and introducing
community policing, which strengthened the relationships
between the citizens and police," Mayor Richard Newton
said. "Thanks to Chief Holder, Colleyville Police are not only
there to keep us safe, but they are part of the community
