City of Crosby hires VanHorn as Chief of Police, effective this Fall

The Crosby Police Department will have a familiar face leading this Fall with a change in leadership transitioning internally, after our latest conversation with Crosby City Administrator Matthew Hill.

Hill spoke about the news of a new chief with current Chief Andrew Rooney announcing his retirement from the position.

The process of hiring a new chief resulted in a promotion from within.

The decision to hire Mike VanHorn as Police Chief for the City of Crosby came down to experience and the knowledge of City practices.

Following a promotion to Lieutenant, VanHorn has been an understudy for current Chief Andrew Rooney in the transition.
