HPD Officers at IPC Hebron Houston

"Dear HPD Team,

Thank you very much for going out of your way to make our ‘Be A Hero’ event memorable and successful. Our Church Members and our Kids enjoyed their time to interact with our Everyday Heroes and to hear their stories first-hand. We look up to our HPD Officers who go out of their way to keep our communities safe for all our citizens.

A special thank you to Officer D. Silva, Officer A. Vaughn, Officer J. Saloana, Officer V. Smith, Officer L. Avila for coming out to our church. They answered all the questions our kids had and showed their HPD units. The kids had a blast!! They also participated in our BloodDrive and donated blood. Y’all are great role models for all of us. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for everything you do for us. Be safe!!"

Daughter of fallen officer marries at HPD police memorial

On a beautiful, yet humid, Saturday morning, a lone car sat in the parking lot of the Houston Police Officers Memorial. Its side read "Just married." The other cars that slowly started to fill the lot and line Memorial Drive bore a different pair of words: Houston Police.

Southwest Management District Public Safety Committee Meeting

HPD Assistant Chief Wendy Baimbridge and Westside Patrol Captain Faulhaber heard concerns from local business owners and addressed any issues. 

This is a great example of what Chief Acevedo calls a "force multiplier," in this case, the business owners, working with us to make our communities safer.
