Kyle Peck’s promotion brings longtime Celina officer into assistant chief role

Celina named Kyle Peck assistant police chief in an August announcement, promoting an officer who joined the department in 2015 and has worked across patrol, investigations and support services.

Peck succeeds Brent Brown, who was selected as police chief in Prosper. The city said Peck’s responsibilities would include executive oversight, staff development and partnerships as Celina’s growth adds demands on public safety.

His most recent assignment was Support Services lieutenant. Earlier roles included Patrol lieutenant and Criminal Investigations sergeant, with responsibilities ranging from staffing and emergency response to hiring, policy and budgeting.

The city’s biography credits Peck with more than 16 years in law enforcement, including service in Gunter before joining Celina. It also lists a Master Peace Officer License and advanced police leadership training.

The appointment gives residents context for the department’s leadership transition. The original city announcement provides the full professional background and scope of the role.
