Lakeview Police Department - Home page BRIEF HISTORY In 1986, the two cities of El Lago and Taylor Lake Village decided to merge their police departments. In January 1987, the merger was complete and city leaders had created a larger, more efficient police department. The most immediate tax savings was sharing the expense of having only one chief of police. The formation of the Lakeview Police Department was patterned after the Memorial Villages Police Department in west Houston that serves three cities. Both departments report to a Board of Commissioners composed of representatives from each city that has civilian oversight responsibilities of the police department's budget and policy and procedures. The Board of Commissioners of the Lakeview Police Department meets every second Monday of each month to address matters of the department and its performance.
