News From District A: Heavy Trash Update, Upcoming Events, and More

Our office received many calls from concerned constituents regarding an ongoing car meet on Long Point.

HPD’s NW worked on this issue extensively. Outcomes included arrests, tickets, and cars/weapons being confiscated. I met with those affiliated with the organization as well to express the public safety concerns.

After HPD’s great work on this, the owners decided to discontinue the meets on Long Point! Thank you to HPD and all of the residents who contacted us.

Community Events From November

Highlighting some of the many community events from the previous month!

Thank you to everyone who attended our recent Public Safety Town Hall event. We were honored to have Chief Diaz, Assistant Chief Koochack, and Chief Satterwhite share their valuable insights on public safety in our city.

Congratulations to our new police officers from Cadet Class 265!

Thank you to Chief Satterwhite and the Greater Houston Port Bureau for their informative presentations of their roles in the City of Houston, in the Public Safety Committee.

It was a beautiful ceremony for Houston Firefighter Marcelo “Ox” Garcia III who bravely served and unfortunately died in the line of duty. Forever grateful for his service. May his memory be a blessing to his family and friends.

I was proud to present a Proclamation to the Houston ToolBank as they celebrate 10 years of amazing service in the City of Houston!
