Brook Rollins takes over as Lewisville’s new police chief
enforcement. As an executive in policing, as you’re looking at shaping your own career, you want to be in a place where you know you’re going to be supported to bring your new ideas and your tenacity to the job. Lewisville checks all those boxes. What has the transition been like? Chief Deaver left this police department in very good condition. I’m kind of standing by and watching a lot of things, keeping my mouth shut and my eyes and ears open, paying attention to how we conduct ourselves, and then applying my thoughts on what to do. I imagine there’ll be some good things we’ll have a chance to embrace and edit as time goes forward. What would you like to accomplish within your rst year? The department has a pretty good take on transparency. We’re only going to be able to do the things with the responsibilities our community and our citizens give us as far as management, so I want to be transparent. I’m looking at kind of editing or enhancing some of our publicly accessible information. Another thing I’ve really been pushing
