Contemporary Policing Issues

The Irving Police Department swore in our eleventh police chief, Chief Derick Miller, on Tuesday, May 31, 2022. 

A native of Benbrook, Chief Miller joined the Carrollton Police Department in 1992 as a reserve officer. Since then, he worked his way up through each rank and was appointed police chief of the Carrollton Police Department in 2017. 

Chief Miller's main interests are contemporary policing issues, professional policing approaches, and community engagement. Chief Miller is committed and dedicated to building on Irving's success with community engagement and a strong focus on an internal presence, connection, and good communication with department employees at all levels.
