dangerous scenarios they may encounter.
To become a member of HCPAAA,
you must go through the 10 week Citizens
Police Academy (CPA) class. Would you like to join our next CPA class? HPD

Information Exchange
The first Information Exchange presentation of the year
(2018) coordinated by the Houston Police Department’s Senior Community Liaison
Dr. Tim Dang was held recently at the
Sunrise Adult Activity & Health Center, 9525 Wilcrest Drive.
The Houston Police Department personnel listed below shared helpful
crime prevention information with the Vietnamese community:
Willie Anthony, Sergeant, HPD Public Affairs
Tracy Hicks, Sergeant, HPD Auto Theft Division
Presentation Topic: Auto
Theft and Burglary of a Motor Vehicle
Prevention
Jeremy Lahar, Senior Police Officer, HPD Public Affairs
Presentation Topic: Personal
Safety
Patrick LeBlanc, Lieutenant, HPD Special Victims
Division
Presentation Topic: Elder
Abuse
Phan Thanh, Sergeant, HPD Burglary and Theft
Division
Presentation Topic: Burglary
and Theft Prevention
Alma
Gonzalez, Counselor, HPD Criminal Investigation Command, Family Violence
Unit
Presentation Topic: Domestic Violence
There were over 100 citizens in attendance. The
discussion included the following: Auto Theft; Burglary of a Motor Vehicle; Personal
Safety; Elder Abuse; Burglary and Theft; and Domestic Violence. The exchange
concluded with questions and answers. An interpreter was present to translate
from English to Vietnamese.
The purpose of the Information Exchange Initiative is to
enhance communications between police officers and citizens throughout various
areas of the city. The goal is to educate the high concentration of Vietnamese
immigrants by providing them with crime prevention literature, and discussing
crime prevention strategies and concerns. These citizens historically are not
very comfortable with interacting with police officers within the department. This
exchange promotes the department’s community policing and let’s citizens from
this community know that we care and are available.
