WS-1 Annual Crime Report
Police Chief Michael Miller presented the Annual Crime Report, beginning with a
review of the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) objective to produce reliable statistics
for law enforcement administration, operation and management. The reporting is
based on eight Crime Index Offenses, which are Part 1 offenses: murder, rape,
robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft, auto theft, and arson. Chief Miller
stated the department reports the number of known index crime offenses from
records of complaints from victims, reports from witnesses, and crimes discovered
by the department during its operations. The resulting number of offenses known
to law enforcement officials is reported without regard to whether arrests were
made, stolen property recovered, or prosecution occurred. The department
reports to Texas DPS, who in turn reports to the FBI.
In reporting the Part 1 Crimes, the overall change is a 20 percent decrease in
crime over 2020 and is the lowest rate since 1985 which can be verified. Chief
Miller summarized the statistics in each category, and the resolutions. Chief Miller
reviewed the 2021 activity of the department to include patrol and CID activity,
and traffic crash data. He also reviewed the crime reporting changes which were
required in 2019, and explained the National Incident-Based Reporting System
(NIBRS) which standardizes the capture and reporting of more detailed data, and
provides greater analytic flexibility.
Chief Miller then reviewed some of the many accomplishments of the department
within the last year. The achievements included being the recipient of two 2 of 15
agency awards by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, (IACP).
Agencies of all sizes were considered for the same award categories and
competition included agencies from around the world. The Colleyville Police

Department won the IACP/Thomson Reuters Excellence in Criminal Investigations
Award for the CityXGuide case and the IACP Leadership in the Prevention of
Transnational Crime for an Elder Fraud case with ties to Nigerian organized crime
syndicates. Additionally, after a three and one-half year process, the Colleyville
Police Department was awarded national accreditation by the Commission on
Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), and is only 1 of 34 agencies
in Texas to achieve CALEA accreditation, the Colleyville Police Department is one
of only six agencies in Texas to hold accreditations by both CALEA and the Texas
Police Chief’s Association.
Chief Miller stated he is proud of his entire department, the services they provide,
and the results achieved. He touched briefly on the recent terrorist attack with
hostages and a gift card scam ring the department assisted in.
Chief Miller thanked the City Council for providing tools and support to the
department, and noted they are small but mighty.
Mayor Newton and the City Council thanked Chief Miller and stated they were very
proud of him and the entire department.

Consideration of a Special Use Permit for a Massage Therapy use on a

Lane, Suite 100, Case ZC21-030
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-22-2190.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this item requesting a
Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow for a Massage Therapy use in the PUD-C Planned
Unit Development - Commercial district for The Village. Director Bryner stated the
massage service will be an added use to an existing spa, it will not be a separate,
independent business.
Director Bryner reviewed the Land Development Code for massage therapy and
stated the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval as does staff
as the proposed business should not adversely affect surrounding uses.
Councilmember Dodson requested it be written into the ordinance the massage
therapist must remain licensed and the SUP would be revoked if the therapist is no
longer licensed.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood stated he had read the opposed letters and stated this
is an additional service provided within a currently operating business, not a
stand-alone massage business. Councilmember Wheat stated she was of the
same opinion.
Director Bryner stated he will update the ordinance language to include the
licensing requirement before the next meeting when City Council will take action.
