Houston Police Department talking northwest crime trends

Business owners, security personnel and concerned citizens gathered for a meeting Oct. 10 with police officers in northwest Houston to talk about crime trends in the area, including break-ins and vehicle burglaries.

Officers from the Houston Police Department’s North Belt Division talked about the trends, but HPD Commander Steve Spears spoke positively about the Willowbrook area.

“This area, it’s stayed up pretty good,” Spears said. “But how can we keep it that way?”

Spears spoke about HPD’s Differential Response Team that is responsible for dealing with community issues and holding meetings like the one he was at, and several DRT officers were there as well.

“What we’ve actually learned is if we can partner with the community and solve these problems before they become a problem, it really does help us,” Spears said
