Public Safety Programs

Priortizing Partnerships

The North Houston District provides a variety of public safety programs and activities to supplement the hard work of local law enforcement agencies. Our efforts to ensure the safety and security of the area go back more than 20 years, when crime in the area was dramatically reduced with the opening a public safety center that put more police officers closer to District. Today, we fund and spearhead multiple innovative programs and services that help prevent crime, build community and promote positive interaction with law enforcement agencies.

The District contracts with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office to provide proactive policing in the area. Launched in March 2016, this program increases police visibility and targets specific community concerns. In addition, deputies work to educate the community on crime prevention strategies.

HPD Bike Patrol

Each summer, North Houston District partners with the Houston Police Department’s Bike Patrol to add an extra layer of security for our parks, trails, and common areas. Because officers are out and about, they tend to interact with citizens more regularly on routine patrols and get to know the community.

Spartan Security

Park Security

Trained private security officers provide routine patrols throughout District parks to enhance safety and security. Their visible presence helps create a welcoming environment for everyone who uses these public spaces.
