Note: The City of Kerrville has currently turned off all comments for all Facebook posts for several reasons. The City established its social media accounts as a way to publicize and spread public information. The City intends to continue to use it for this purpose. However, based upon the consistent use of that information, through comments and other responses, the City believes its information is being intentionally misconstrued, manipulated, or used in ways that confuse the information provided. In addition, a significant amount of activity on the City’s sites include comments and other responses that seem to be intentionally divisive, take away from the purpose of the public information, are entirely irrelevant, and frankly, have no public purpose. Thus, to ensure clarity of its communications, the City has chosen to discontinue the ability to respond to its posts. The City may revisit this issue in the future.

Chief Jerel Haley was sworn in this evening at City of Kerrville, TX - City Hall City Council meeting as our new police chief following the retirement of Police Chief Chris McCall on June 19.

Chief Haley has served as assistant police chief of the Kerrville Police Department since March 2023 and brings approximately 33 years of law enforcement experience to the position, including prior service as a police chief, investigations commander, emergency management instructor and law enforcement executive.

“Chief Haley brings a depth of experience, proven leadership and a strong understanding of the Kerrville Police Department and the community it serves,” City Manager Dalton Rice said. “His background in law enforcement operations, emergency management and public service will provide continuity and steady leadership for the department moving forward.”

Chief Haley began his law enforcement career in 1991 with the Santa Cruz Police Department in California. During his time there, he served as a field training officer, street crimes detective, narcotics task force agent and sexual assault detective.

He later joined the Santa Maria Police Department, where he served in the ranks of corporal, sergeant and lieutenant. His assignments included community services, field training, SWAT, investigations, narcotics, gangs, the detective bureau and the crime lab. He also served as an instructor for SEMS/NIMS emergency management training for City of Santa Maria employees.

After more than 11 years with the Santa Maria Police Department, Chief Haley was appointed chief of police for the Atascadero Police Department. He served as chief for nine years before retiring. In October 2022, he returned to Atascadero as interim chief of police before joining the Kerrville Police Department in March 2023.

Since arriving in Kerrville, Chief Haley has been involved in the city’s public safety planning and emergency operations for two major events: the April 2024 total solar eclipse and the July 4 Guadalupe River flooding event in the Kerrville and Kerr County area.

“Serving the citizens of Kerrville and the men and women of the Kerrville Police Department is an honor,” Chief Haley said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to continue the department’s work and to build on the foundation of professionalism, service and commitment to public safety that this community expects.”

Chief Haley has completed the Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute and twice attended the National Disaster and Emergency Management University Integrated Emergency Management Course for communities. He holds a master’s degree in organizational leadership from Mountain State University.

The City of Kerrville thanks Chief McCall for his service and leadership and looks forward to a smooth transition in leadership for the Kerrville Police Department.

“The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of the property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.”

Major General Gordon Granger
- General Orders, Number 3
- Headquarters District of Texas, Galveston, June 19, 1865

Two months after the end of the Civil War, Union troops landed on Galveston and published the above order, bringing the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation to Texas. Originally a Texas celebration, Juneteenth spread across the country as a celebration of freedom. Recognized as a federal holiday in 2021, we celebrate Juneteenth as a day of freedom and equality.
