Colleyville hires next Police Chief with municipal,
federal law enforcement experience
The Colleyville City Council has
appointed Michael C. Miller as
the city's next Chief of Police.
The Council unanimously passed
a resolution at the March 20
City Council meeting after a
recommendation from City
Manager Jerry Ducay approving
his appointment with a start
date likely in May.
The City began the search for a
police chief in late 2017 and
received more than 100
applications from across the
country before narrowing it down to a lone finalist. The City
conducted the search in-house rather than hire a
consultant, saving taxpayers more than $26,000.
Miller currently serves as the Assistant Chief of Police for
the City of Coral Gables, Florida. He has more than 26
years across various forms of law enforcement including
time with the Wise County Sheriff's Department, Addison
Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and
U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, as well as private-sector
experience working as a management consulting executive.
He holds a Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University
and a Master in Public Administration from Harvard
University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
"Mr. Miller's experience and approach to community service
make him an exceptional fit for Colleyville," Mayor Richard
Newton said. "I have trust in his abilities to continue the
city's standing as one of the safest cities in Texas and the
nation."
