In 1985 Judge Raleeh began his police career for the City of McKinney where he served as a criminal investigator assigned to crimes against persons. While employed with them he acquired several awards and was twice named the City Employee of the Month. In 1991 he began to work for the Collin County Sheriff’s Office as a criminal investigator and received special recognition from Sheriff Box for his endeavors. When the preceding Judge retired, Judge Raleeh ran for office and took the position as the Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace in January 1999.
Judge Raleeh prides himself on his constant devotion to making the court available to the public and continuously providing optimal customer service. During his tenure, he has developed a Night Court as well as a community service hours program which provides food for the needy. He refuses to use voicemail in his office so the customer will always reach a real person rather than an automated system to assist them during business hours. Judge Raleeh is always looking for new and innovative ways to help the Courts and the community.
