Dillon Maroney’s drive to serve has defined his career. For 12 years, he served as a Fort Worth Police officer, which he calls “an honor,” and now he is an executive administrator in Tarrant County’s Precinct 4.
Tarrant County Commissioner Manny Ramirez says he can quantify Maroney’s efforts, which have led to more than $500 million in strategic investments in roadways all across North Texas.
“Dillon Maroney has revolutionized the mobility planning and regional collaboration for Tarrant County,” Ramirez says.
Maroney has a bachelor’s degree from Texas Wesleyan and a Master of Public Administration from UT Arlington. Work on the board of the Fort Worth Police Officers Association and the challenge of solving a $1.6 billion pension shortfall inspired him to seek an MPA.
“I discovered how fulfilling it could be to tackle complex issues that impact an entire community.”
