Post Date:07/29/2016 8:20 AMValuepenguin.com has named Colleyville the safest city in Texas in its 2016 survey of the state.
The personal finance website used FBI crime statistics from 2014, the most recent data available.
“This recognition would not be possible without a community that supports and enhances, not only the Police Department, but the overall safety of its neighborhoods,” Police Chief Mike Holder said.
In this year’s ranking, Colleyville moved up to the No. 1 spot after placing second in 2015.
“This mid-sized community (population of 24,915) 15 miles from Fort Worth offers safety for people and their property,” the website wrote about Colleyville. “It had the lowest rate of property crime rate for any city in this study, and Colleyville also had a mere 10 violent crimes reported in 2014.”
