The fiscal year 2026-27 budget for the Colleyville Crime Control and Prevention District<\/a> will fund the replacement of police equipment and vehicles.<\/p>\n

Council<\/a> approved the district\u2019s budget by a 5-0 vote during the July 7 meeting<\/a>. Mayor Bobby Lindamood and council member Tim Raine were absent from the meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proposed [FY 2026-27] budget includes the new funding requests, while continuing to fund ongoing budget initiatives dedicated specifically to law enforcement,\u201d Assistant Police Chief Hillary Wreay said. \u201cThis funding is an important component of our ability to maintain Colleyville\u2019s status as one of the safest cities in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The overview<\/p>\n

The FY 2026-27 budget projects revenues of nearly $3.65 million and expenditures of $3.59 million. Most of the budget revenues come from a half-cent sales tax contribution, which is projected to account for close to $2.81 million for FY 2026-27, according to city documents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"chart<\/p>\n

Colleyville\u2019s Crime Control and Prevention District FY 2026-27 budget will cover 19 police<\/a> officer positions and fund other staff positions, per city documents. The budget will also cover other ongoing initiatives, such as the annual licensing for the city\u2019s license plate reading cameras and funding for safety equipment.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Wreay said the FY 2026-27 budget will pay for the replacement of 51 tasers at a cost of nearly $236,939, which will be spread out over five years. Two police motorcycles, including associated safety equipment, will be replaced at a cost of up to $100,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice motorcycles are a key tool in reducing traffic-related injuries and fatalities,\u201d Wreay said. \u201cTheir increased mobility, accessibility and visibility make them ideal for targeted traffic enforcement, crash investigations and special escort activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
