League City Police Chief Michael Jez Gets The Boot From City Council

Michael Jez
League City, Texas

There is a job vacancy in League City – the job of police chief.

The City Council met behind closed doors on Tuesday and unanimously voted to fire Michael Jez, who has been at the job for four years. The reason or reasons for the termination have not been disclosed.

Some speculate it could involve recent allegations that Jez was enforcing an illegal ticket quota for patrol officers.

The city manager and city attorney are working to clarify the terms of the termination, which will be brought back to City Council at a future meeting.

Jez sent a memo to the police department Wednesday morning to notify officers of his departure. He denied that a ticket quota existed and he never said why he is leaving.
