On Monday, October 10, 2016, Council Member Larry Green, HPD officers from the Houston Police Department’s Community Services Unit, community agencies and businesses, teamed up to help senior citizens prevent home burglaries. The teams provided home security surveys as well as crime prevention brochures and tips.
The event was held at the Hiram Clarke Multi Service Center, located at 3810 W. Fuqua. During the resource fair, senior citizens were encouraged to sign up for free home security surveys that will be provided by a certified HPD officer. These security upgrades will be installed, free of charge.
This event was one of four home security survey initiatives provided to elderly residents throughout the city who need help making their homes secure. Citizens on Patrol and the Police and Clergy Alliance were also available to speak with and provide resources to the residents in attendance.
District K salutes the following sponsors for making this event a huge success: Allstate, African American Police Officer League, Chick-Fil-A, Crime Stoppers of Houston, Harris County Area on Aging, Harris County Precinct 7, Houston Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni, Houston Fire Department, Houston Health Department, Houston Ministers Against Crime, Houston Police Federal Credit Union, Houston Police Officer’s Union, Police and Clergy Alliance, The Home Depot, and Youth-Police Advisory Council.
