Our area of Houston does not have as much crime as some other areas of Houston and more than others. Like them we want there to be less but know that the best solution is to be smarter about our day-to-day habits. In addition we can creat the sense of community and looking out for each other that makes for a safer world. 

With awareness of what contributes to or makes life easier for the criminal we can reduce the amount of crime. That is one of our goals and the second is to use our contacts and hopefully motivate you to use your contacts to support our police departments who have a job where they are seldon recognized for laying their life on the line for you and me. What we usually see is the media giving equal time to the likely criminal and no time to the victim or the officer.

We have more that one police force in our area and their jurisdictions and authority in many cases overlap. That is good as that means we have mutliple coverage. But we need to help them as we are often their eyes and ears...with cell phones roaming and watching. Links to those department's web sites and direct contact information is available by clicking here .

What we can do is learn about what contributes to crime and share that knowledge with our neighbors and coworker. A great resource with advice and ideas to make you, your family and your neighborhood safer is at  The National Crime Prevention Council .
