History

The HPD was established on December 8, 1925. Virgil Wright, a Broward County deputy sheriff had been patrolling the unincorporated area that was to become the municipality of Hollywood for the past five years. The newly formed city council offered the job of Chief of Police to Deputy Wright, who accepted. Tiring of the responsibilities in less than two months, Chief Wright resigned from his position as Chief of Police. The city council appointed four chiefs within a ten month period thereafter.
