The first law enforcement in Trophy Club was the Town Marshal’s Office. David Nolte served as the Town Marshal from Incorporation in 1985 until 1989.
Town Council voted to form the Trophy Club Police Department in 1990 and hired Don Franklin as the first Chief of Police.
Trophy Club detective Mike Cherryhomes trained Shadow, a German Shepard, as the Town’s police canine.
The Trophy Club Police Department is a vital part of our community.
In 1982, the Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) held an election to initiate a fire tax to fund the fire department. The election passed and the Trophy Club Fire Department was now funded by the MUD but still operated using volunteer staffing.
John Harbin, vice-president of Beck Properties, and Trophy Club resident, drew a rough sketch of a clock tower on the back of a napkin and from there grew a vision that later became the Trophy Club Clock Tower.
“The Trophy Club Clock Tower is a gift from the current residents to the future generations. May the spirit of unity and civic pride, which inspired this project, prevail over our city.” Joh Harbin Beck Properties
On June 24, 1999, ground broke for the Clock Tower and on December 3, 1999, Trophy Club celebrated the completion with a dedication ceremony
