T-shirt from Puerto Rico
During
HPD's outreach to Puerto Rico, Officer Vo was asked to make a T-shirt design to show
the Unity of Houston Police Department and Puerto Rico State Police Department
working together. Our HPD officers purchased these shirts and donated them as
gifts to the Puerto Rico State Police Department Officers thanking them for the
experience. These souvenir shirts remind us of our time we spent alongside with
our neighboring agency. #HoustonStrong

Stands for Houston: Officers give gifts to fire victims
HPD Officers D. Vo and EJ Joseph saw that children in an
apartment complex in south Houston lost all of their belongings in a fire
recently. They felt they had to do
something and so went to the shelter where they were temporarily staying and
brought comfort packs to these children who just lost everything. As you can
see in the video, the children were so excited.
Thank you to KHOU for covering this story.

Three King's Day in Puerto Rico
From Officer D.Vo of Public Affairs who went to help with the recovery efforts in Puerto Rico:
The holiday season of Christmas
& New Year’s Eve may have recently passed but my recent visit to Puerto
Rico educated me about the Three King’s Day that is celebrated on January 6,
2018. The day the Three Magi came from the east to Jerusalem bringing gifts for
Jesus. HPD Officers organized a toy drive and mailed gifts to our students at
Escuela Carmen Sola De Pereira. The kids started school on Tuesday January
9, 2018 and found gifts from the Houston Police Department.

YPAC Christmas Social
On Thursday, December 21,
2017, members of the Youth Police Advisory Council (YPAC), along with the
Houston Police Department's Community Outreach Unit, hosted a Christmas social
and gift-giving event for disadvantaged senior citizens.
The special Christmas party
was held at the J.W. Peavey Multi-service Center, where senior citizens
gathered to find a surprise holiday celebration, complete with food, games, and
gifts.
YPAC fosters communication
and trust between the HPD and area youth. Since 1997, the council has provided
a forum where a diverse, volunteer group of high school teenagers meet with the
Chief of Police, other police officials and adult mentors to share and discuss
issues of importance to Houston's youth, with an emphasis on law enforcement
topics.
