NeighborhoodScout, a web-based patented neighborhood search engine, named Colleyville the 11th-safest city in the nation. The list, which only includes cities in the U.S. with 25,000 or more residents, is based on the total number of property and violent crimes per 1,000 residents. Crimes include burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, murder, rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault. Click here to see the rest of NeighborhoodScout's list. On Jan. 17, Colleyville Police Chief Michael Holder presented an annual crime report to City Council members. The report stated there was a 60 percent reduction in reported cases of rape, aggravated assault and robbery in 2016 compared to 2015.. “The reduction is significant when you’re talking about violent crime,” Holder said. “I like to remind people these are not just numbers.” Holder reminded the council that the city’s violent crime numbers are already low, but cases of rape were down from four reported in 2015 to one in 2016; aggravated assaults were lowered from seven to three; and robberies went down from four to two. There was an increase in residential burglaries to 32 in 2016 from 16 in 2015. Police attribute the increase to residential shed burglaries in which criminals stole lawn equipment and other valuable tools.
