Jon Buckholtz has been appointed chief of the Conroe Police Department, and Mike Garner has been appointed city attorney. These appointments are part of a series of important changes in leadership in the city of Conroe.

Mayor Duke Coon stated, "I believe Mr. Buckholtz is the right man to move the city forward," expressing his trust in the new police chief.
Jon Buckholtz has extensive experience in this capacity, and his appointment shows a commitment to keeping the public safe and meeting the demands of the growing community.

Nancy Mikeska, deputy city administrator and director of Community Development, stated, "We have respected his opinions and legal knowledge, and we believe he can serve the city well."
