For Safety's Sake
Winter brings early evening darkness, fun holiday shopping and unfortunately an increase in crime. As our neighborhood flourishes it becomes a more appealing target to the wrong elements. While our neighborhood crime rate is increasing, so too is the response from HPD. Representatives from the Houston Police Department ("HPD") will be featured at the 7:00 PM meeting of the Houston Heights Association to be held on Monday, January 14, 2002. We will be fortunate that evening to have HPD's Captain Yorek, from our own local area police store front, to keep us abreast of the latest efforts being made to protect you. Increased bike patrols, personnel reallocations, graffiti removal teams, gang response units and garage sting operations are just a few of the topics that will be discussed. One of the most important factors in helping insure we have a safe community, is our individual responsibility as neighbors in helping our area police officers. Our role, as their additional eyes and ears to help spot crime, is critical in insuring HPD resources are effectively utilized. Come and learn how to be prepared, what to watch out for, tips for protecting your family and your home. Bring your neighbor. Get your questions answers . Bring your kids and meet some of the real heroes that serve all of us around the clock. Get informed and become part of the solution.
