Mayor’s Message
As Mayor of Arlington, Texas, I am happy to
showcase our police department and the great
work that they have accomplished under the
leadership of Police Chief Will Johnson. We have
made great strides and investments in public
safety over the past year. As part of a three-year
plan, the City Council invested significantly in
employee compensation to put employees
above market level.
Public safety is always a top priority for my
administration. We welcome thousands upon
thousands of visitors to our great city each
year. Our population continues to grow and
the city has experienced amazing economic
development. We continue to champion great
neighborhoods and the police department has a
profound impact on the safety and quality of life
for residents.
I am so proud of our community who came
together to partner with the police department
on a variety of citizen outreach efforts and
community policing initiatives. For the first time ever, the police department received top honors by receiving the First
Place Award for National Night Out. This is a tremendous honor and highlights the many contributions that employees
provide to make Arlington one of the safest cities in America.
On behalf of the Arlington City Council, I am happy to present to our citizens the police department’s annual report.
When you see our officers and police employees, take the time to thank them for a job well done. With their help,
Arlington is truly a place where dreams come true in our American Dream City.
