Please join me for an informational Town Hall Meeting on Crime. For those who know me you may expect this town hall meeting to be a blunt assessment of our current situation in Houston. I will not whitewash anything. Our discussions will be based on fact, not hyperbole. The presentations given will provide information to help you understand where we are as a community, what we are doing as a community, and what still needs to be done.
Given that crime is multifaceted, so too will be the presentations. While they will mainly focus on crimes against persons and property, other crimes will be discussed. They will cover criminal statistics, criminal behavior, and crime prevention. However, this will not be a theory-based lecture. There will be practical discussions on crime, crime prevention, and the application of policies that affect those topics.
While the various speakers will discuss the fundamental concepts of policing, they will also focus on criminal behavior, types of crimes being committed throughout Houston, and the areas where crime is most prevalent. In short, this town hall meeting will discuss the strategies and measures by which to reduce crime in Houston.
I want to see you there, and I welcome your questions. I ask that you please submit them online via our website. We are doing this to ensure that as many questions as possible are answered during the event. If, for some reason, your question is not addressed, we will publish all the questions and responses to our website after the event.
