Meet Chief Tracy Aaron

Chief Tracy Aaron is based in Mansfield, Texas. He assumed the role of Mansfield Chief of Police in 2014 after serving as Chief Marshall for nearly 6 years. When he first started with the Mansfield PD in 1989, the city’s population was 22,000. Today, the city has grown to 72,000 with 106 sworn officers.The suburban city is just south of Arlington and located within the greater Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex area. New neighborhoods are being built all the time. Naturally, the PD has had to keep pace with the developments.Living in the area for decades and working his way through the chain of command has helped inform Chief Aaron of how to strategically build and expand a team along with the population growth. A major component of this is to hire the right employees. Yet he’s also someone who always looks out for new ways to get the best tools for the job.

After 20+ years on staff at a local church leading compassion services locally and globally, in August of 2023 Brian joined Mansfield Mission Center as the executive director. MMC works with a network of volunteer organizations, corporations, and churches to serve the greater Mansfield area providing care of families in need. Through medical care, food subsidy, and wrap around services, MMC empowers people with essential resources and fosters their independence. Brian continues to serve on several global boards fighting poverty around the world and envisions Mansfield to be a community that cares for its neighbors. Brian and his wife, Sheryl have lived in the Mansfield area for 24 years and have two adult children, one amazing grandson, and a Golden Retriever named Jax.

Mansfield Cares was established in 1999 by a group of people who were interested in helping those in need here in Mansfield. Mansfield Cares works closely with Mansfield ISD and Common Ground Network (organization that is comprised of local churches and service organizations that help those in need in Mansfield). Mansfield Cares supports many programs. Some of the programs are:

Back to School Bash shoe donations Helping Hands Program

Grocery cards from Kroger (Angel Tree) MISD Scholarships

Feed the Kids for Summer Program Food Pantries

In addition, Mansfield Cares, in 2009, built and ran a free medical/dental and ophthalmological clinic on Broad Street. In 2019, Mansfield cares gifted the medical building and surrounding land to the Mansfield Mission Center.

Mansfield Cares also constructed a building for use by the Mansfield food bank, Harvesting In Mansfield.

Mansfield cares operates through donations and three fundraisers a year—the annual Gala (February), Casino Event (August) and Wine Tasting Event (November).

To date, Mansfield Cares has raised and donated over $3,000,000 to the Mansfield community.
