A $3.6 million Colleyville Crime Control and Prevention District budget for fiscal 2027, which includes 51 new Tasers and up to $100,000 for two police motorcycles, was approved July 7 by the Colleyville City Council.
The Colleyville CCPD budget projects $3.65 million in revenues and $3.59 million in expenses, leaving a project balance of $3.75 million when the fiscal year ends Sept. 30, 2027.
Assistant Police Chief Hillary Wreay outlined the two new spending priorities, which total about $337,000:
The department is requesting approval to purchase 51 new Axon Taser Model 10 electronic control weapons. The $236,935 total cost would be spread over five years, with annual payments of $47,387 and no interest. The department’s current Axon X26P model, purchased in 2019, is approaching end-of-life status.
The department also seeks approval to purchase two new police motorcycles — Harley-Davidson or BMW models — at approximately $50,000 each. The existing motorcycles were purchased in 2019.
The X26P Taser uses cartridges with ranges of 15 to 25 feet and is designed for use from at least 4 feet away, Wreay said. The Taser 10 has a maximum range of 45 feet and can be used at close range.
The new police motorcycles’ mobility, accessibility and visibility make them ideal for traffic enforcement, crash investigations and special escorts, she said.
Colleyville voters approved establishing the Crime Control and Prevention District in 1999. A half-cent local sales tax funds law enforcement personnel, operations, vehicles and equipment.
The budget also continues funding:
19 full-time sworn officers.
two public safety officers.
eight school resource officers.
the department’s accreditation coordinator.
a portion of the city’s network and cybersecurity administrator.
SWAT training and equipment.
crime scene response, early warning and internal affairs systems.
annual leadership de-escalation and crisis intervention training.
Finance Director Cassie Smith said spending for school resource officers decreased because Bransford Elementary School closed after the 2025-26 school year, bringing the number of school resource officer count from nine to eight.
Texas law requires the district’s board to adopt a budget at least 80 days before the fiscal year begins Oct. 1. Council members, acting as the district’s board, approved the budget June 16. They gave it final city approval July 7.
