Keeping Houston Safe

The Houston Police Department is teaming up with residents and businesses in the East End to help reduce crime.

The announcement on Tuesday resembled a a small neighborhood party, with elected officials, police handing out information and Fiesta Grocery providing fresh fruit and bottled water.

It’s a sixty day intensive effort, and HPD’s goal is to reduce crimes like break-ins, robberies and assaults by 10 percent.

In addition to fighting  crime, the department says it wants to form a partnership with residents.
