Editor\u2019s note: Transcript provided by Cambridge Artificial Intelligencer<\/a>.<\/p>\n 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<\/a> by the Colleyville City Council.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Assistant Police Chief Hillary Wreay outlined the two new spending priorities, which total about $337,000:\u00a0<\/p>\n The department is requesting approval to purchase 51 new Axon Taser Model 10<\/a> 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\u2019s current Axon X26P<\/a> model, purchased in 2019, is approaching end-of-life status.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n The new police motorcycles\u2019 mobility, accessibility and visibility make them ideal for traffic enforcement, crash investigations and special escorts, she said.<\/p>\n Colleyville voters approved establishing the Crime Control and Prevention District<\/a> in 1999. A half-cent local sales tax funds law enforcement personnel, operations, vehicles and equipment.<\/p>\n The budget also continues funding:<\/p>\n 19 full-time sworn officers. Finance Director Cassie Smith said spending for school resource officers decreased because Bransford Elementary School closed<\/a> after the 2025-26 school year, bringing the number of school resource officer count from nine to eight.\u00a0<\/p>\n Texas law requires the district\u2019s board to adopt a budget<\/a> at least 80 days before the fiscal year begins Oct. 1. Council members, acting as the district\u2019s board, approved the budget June 16. They gave it final city approval July 7.<\/p>\n
\nThe department also seeks approval to purchase two new police motorcycles \u2014 Harley-Davidson or BMW models \u2014 at approximately $50,000 each. The existing motorcycles were purchased in 2019.<\/p>\n
