Liaising with Councilwoman Kamin’s office regarding crime and safety issues

  • Work with the Councilwoman’s office regarding new ordinances or changes to ordinances that affect crime or public safety
  • Share documented incidents with the Councilwoman’s office for further escalation within the City of Houston departments.

The number one crime in the area is thefts. Most of those are auto break-ins. Do not leave valuables in your car. Criminals will size up a car within a few seconds and look for things like briefcases, bags, computers, phones, and even chargers. Also please report all crimes no matter how small. This helps HPD as well as the deputies know crime patterns and determine hot spots. You can contact the deputies to help file your report or click here to file online with HPD.
