Back to school is here! HPD reminds all drivers to stay alert, slow down, and watch for students and school buses. Let’s make safety a priority this school year.

Community Engagement: Back-to-school season is here, and HPD has been proud to join communities across Houston for backpack giveaways, school supply drives, and bike giveaways to help students prepare for a successful year ahead.

When @POTUS authorized the Memphis Safe Task Force, critics expressed skepticism; but the results are in: violent and property crime rates are dropping fast w/ the surge of federal resources. I joined @cabot_phillips on @realDailyWire Live to discuss my reporting on that effort:

There is no end to the anti-police grift… This suspect, a career violent criminal, arrested dozens of times, is out stealing, and when confronted by officers he fights them and slashes one with a knife! The officer then shoots the suspect, but somehow this is all the officers fault and it’s racially motivated. Give me a break people…any sane/reasonable person can see that the only person responsible for his death, is him!

'HATEFUL DEM RHETORIC HAS CONSEQUENCES' ⚠️ Fraternal Order of Police National Vice President Joe Gamaldi says escalating political rhetoric is leading to the 10,000+ threats against the White House administration @JoeGamaldi @FoxBusiness

They weren't related by blood, but they were always there. Law enforcement families often create lifelong friendships that become something much deeper.

I will be joining @EveningEdit @FoxBusiness hosted by @LizMacDonaldFOX at approx 5:45pm eastern/ 4:45pm central talking the barrage of threats being made against President Trump and members of his administration. Tune in.

The War on Cops in America marches on… 2 brave Indianapolis police officers were shot last night responding to a disturbance call. Upon arriving on the scene the coward opened fire on the officers, striking both. Officers returned fire and neutralized the dirtbag…permanently. Please keep these heroes in your prayers, thankfully both are expected to recover.

Please keep the brave Chicago PD SWAT officer who was shot yesterday while attempting to rescue two people who had been taken hostage. While breaching the door, the cowardly dirtbag shot through the door and wall striking the officer. The suspect was later taken into custody and the officer is expected to recover. Just another shining example of who we are as police officers, willing to risk our lives to save fellow members of our community. Great work hero!

One of the unique parts of growing up in a law enforcement family is knowing that there is an entire network of people who care about your safety and success.

A naked man allegedly tried to abduct a 7-year-old girl from her mother at Portland’s Waterfront Park, but bystanders fought him off with pepper spray as police took nearly 30 minutes to arrive. NEWSMAX Crime Correspondent @JasonMattera has more on “Wake Up America.”

Please keep the two brave Hillsborough County (FL) deputies who were shot yesterday in your thoughts and prayers. The dirtbag, who had taken his girlfriend hostage earlier in the day, ambushed the officers when they were attempting to locate him, shooting both of them. A third deputy on scene returned fire and neutralized this monster…permanently. Thankfully, both officers are expected to recover from this heinous attack.

Last week, Mayor John Whitmire joined the Houston Police Department for the groundbreaking of the new South Central Police Station. This investment marked an important step toward strengthening our operations and enhancing the services we provide to Houstonians.

One officer shot every 24 hours. Let that sink in. A deputy U.S. Marshal was murdered while attempting to apprehend a fugitive who had failed to appear in court. As National FOP Vice President Joe Gamaldi points out, nearly 180 officers have been shot this year, putting 2026 on pace to become the second worst year in the last decade for officers shot. Last year also saw the highest number of officer assaults in a decade. Enough is enough. Violent, repeat offenders should not be given endless chances while the men and women sworn to protect our communities continue to pay the price. We owe it to every officer who pins on the badge to prioritize accountability, protect our communities, and stop treating violent crime like it's without consequences. #OfficerDown #NationalFOP #FOPStrong #BackTheBlue #LawEnforcement #PublicSafety Credit: Newsmax
