Distracted driving continues to be a problem and takes many forms. In 2023, nearly one in six crashes on Texas roads were caused by a distracted driver in which 399 people died and 2,793 were seriously injured.
TxDOT’s Talk. Text. Crash. campaign educates Texans on the dangers and risks of driving distracted while also raising awareness of statewide laws. The campaign addresses and discourages all forms of distracted driving when behind the wheel, with the overall goal of saving lives and reducing crashes.

In addition to that, Aubrey is potty trained, very eager to please, and sleeps all night without fussing.”

Many family members and friends gathered to celebrate the significant milestone of two officers promoting to the rank of Sergeant; Brandon McClain and Eric Lawhorn.
Chief Wright welcomed everyone and explained the tedious process that promoting entails. With support from their families and colleagues, Brandon and Eric committed to and successfully completed the challenge.
Brandon and Eric met with Chief Wright prior to the ceremony and talked about how much their family means to them. How a person relates to family can be a strong indicator of how they communicate as leaders and treat others in the workplace. Just as Brandon and Eric want what’s best for their families, they want the same for their officers — to protect them, develop them, and see them succeed.
Brandon was encouraged and inspired by his brother Cameron, who is also a Police Sergeant. He applied to and graduated from the 67th Pasadena Police Academy in 2013 and worked on evening shift patrol where he served as a Field Training Officer. Six years later he was assigned to the Financial Crimes Division and became a polygraph examiner in 2023. Brandon is grateful for his wife’s love and support as he continues to succeed in his law enforcement career.
Eric Lawhorn was born and raised in Pasadena and comes from a background deeply rooted in public service. His mother is a Nurse, and his father is a Firefighter. Eric has dedicated 14 years to the City of Pasadena and his career began in 2010 as a Police Service Officer. Eager to broaden his abilities, he applied to and was accepted into the 74th Pasadena Police Academy. He worked on both evening and night shift and was also a Field Training Officer. Eric’s Sergeant badge was pinned by his wife, whom he continues to share a strong foundation with in his personal life as he also navigates his professional endeavors.
Congratulations to Sgt. McClain and Sgt. Lawhorn on your promotions!

Do you know why we celebrate San Jacinto Day in Pasadena?🧐
STORY TIME!⬇️
On San Jacinto Day we honor and show respect to the brave men and women who settled in Texas before us. In 1835, both Anglo-American and Tejano Texas settlers were no longer happy being citizens of Mexico. The settlers organized and rebelled with arms against the Mexican Army. President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was a proven dictator, and the settlers wanted their freedom. The Texas settlers took arms and drove the Mexican army from Texas in 1835. In retaliation, General Santa Anna marched 6,000 soldier to reclaim Texas and stop the rebellion. It was brutal and the Alamo fell on March 6th and two weeks later, the soldiers of Goliad, Texas Surrendered.
General Sam Houston led the Texas rebellion and his army retreated, but his troops were eager to continue to fight and win against the Mexican army. Santa Anna made several mistakes. He divided his army to pursue different targets.
Sam Houston saw his chance to take action and setup camp on April 20th on the Buffalo Bayou near Lynch’s ferry. Santa Anna had his smaller army setup camp about ¾ miles away. The next morning, around 500 Mexican troops arrived to help but were given orders to eat and rest. General Sam Houston had a prime opportunity. At 3:30 that afternoon, the General and his troops laid out the battle plan to get their 930 soldiers to take the fight to Santa Anna’s 1250 Mexican soldiers.
At 4:30 General Sam Houston and the Texan army began to attack the Mexican camp while shouting “Remember the Alamo”! The battle lasted 18 minutes and the Texas army killed over 600 Mexican soldiers and captured almost all the remaining army. Nine Texans died in the battle.
General Santa Anna escaped and disguised himself as a private. Texan troops captured him along the Houston Ship Channel in now Pasadena, Texas. The troops brought him to General Houston and Houston forced him to sign a treaty that would recognize Texas as Independent from Mexico. That treaty opened the gate for Texas and the American expansion!
We celebrate San Jacinto Day to honor these brave men and how they fought for our freedom. The battle took place on the land of the now
San Jacinto Monument grounds.

Dear Animal Lover Community,
I smile to get through the pain, but I need your help…
I came into the shelter lost and injured, wearing a harness, and wondering where my owner is.
I’ve been seen by a veterinarian and the shelter is giving me the medical they suggested. But in order to truly heal, I need additional assistance.
➡️ Can you help me find my owner or a rescue organization that can support me?
With a Hopeful Heart,

Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐶🐶
Our 2 pups have made a PAWsitive impact on their new family! Check out what they had to say:
“We adopted Evan in January of 2020 when my husband wanted a larger dog and Olympia (now Kira) in October of 2022 at your Halloween event because I’ve always wanted a German Shepard.
Both dogs had DNA tests done and Kira is 100% German Shephard and Evan is 75% Pitt Bull and the rest Husky/Samoyed. They got along instantly and love to play in the backyard together. Evan loves to hang out in the backyard and sunbathe and Kira rarely leaves my side.
I recently had a baby and Kira makes sure she frequently checks on him. She loves to give kisses to anything and everything (me, my two kids, the cats, Evan, etc.). When we adopted Kira, she was heartworm positive. We did the heartworm treatment with y’all, and she finished it in February 2023. I’m so happy to say that she is now heartworm free.
They are both healthy, sweet, well behaved, and smart girls, and are just such great additions to our family.”

The Pasadena Police Department is overwhelmed with the generosity, love, and support we received from Bubba’s 33 and our community. Bubba’s 33 staff hosted a very special End of Watch Wall of Honor dedication ceremony for our Fallen Officers and their families.
The room overflowed with community members, elected and city officials, families, police officers, and several members of our police department. We witnessed a truly unforgettable moment as the Wall of Honor was revealed to commemorate the Pasadena Police Officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
This event sent a strong message that we will never forget these Officers and that the Police and the community will always be here for these incredible families. Bubba’s 33 – Pasadena, TX Pasadena Chamber of Commerce City of Pasadena, Texas – Government

The recent graduates are the first group in La Porte’s resurrection of their Civil Service Entrance Exam process, which hires the prospective officers, send them to a local certified academy, and then trains the PPOs in Department processes over the next six months.

PROHIBITED VEHICLE LEADS DEPUTY ON PURSUIT
On March 30, 2024, Precinct 8 Deputy Camarillo with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office received an alert of a prohibited vehicle while patrolling the 2800 block of the E Sam Houston Pkwy. Deputy Camarillo located the vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The vehicle failed to stop and a pursuit ensued. The vehicle accelerated to a high rate of speed while disregarding multiple traffic lights and stop signs. The pursuit continued for approximately 26 miles before the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed at the intersection of Strawberry Rd and Vista Rd. The driver was taken into custody and identified as 25 year old Paul Trevino Martinez.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted a felony charge for Evading Arrest/Detention with Vehicle. Martinez was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bond was set at $10,000.
On April 9, 2024 at approximately 8:14 AM, Precinct 8 Deputy Conway with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office was dispatched to a suspicious person call at CVS in the 900 block of Bay Area Blvd. Upon arrival, the suspicious person was located and identified as 25 year old Anthony Joseph Carignan. The complainant stated Carignan entered the store and began to cause a disturbance. Carignan was instructed to leave the store and he refused. Carignan began to threaten the complainant and a customer with serious bodily injury. A check of Carignan’s information revealed a Criminal Trespass warning was filed on him for this location.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted charges for Terroristic Threat – Fear of Imminent Serious Bodily Injury. Carignan was placed in custody and transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bond was set at $100. Carignan was later released on a General Order Bond, a release order from the judge based on the defendant’s promise that he/she will show up for trial and no security is required. It was noted that Carignan has been arrested by Precinct 8 Deputies three times this year.

STAFF FAVORITE SPOTLIGHT: Tater Tot! ⭐️
Tater Tot is a favorite here at the shelter and he’s ready for his forever home! Check out what our team member Emma had to say about him:
“Tater Tot is my favorite shelter baby currently! He’s so sweet and loving! He did really well when he recently met some younger children!
He doesn’t quite know how to walk on a leash, but we’re working on it. If you walk away from him and kneel down, he’ll walk over to you! When he is in the play yard, he’ll get the zoomies and then likes to sniff the grass.
He also LOVES butt scratches! When you scratch his butt, he’ll turn his head around to lick your hand. He does slobber, but he’s an all-around good boy! He has not been dog tested yet, but I’m hoping we can do so soon!”
⭐️ If you’re looking for a star pup like this, come meet Tater Tot!

Last week, Pasadena P.D. officers responded to a residence regarding a burglary of a habitation. The suspect forced entry into the resident’s garage and caused damage. Once the homeowner confronted the suspect, the suspect fled on foot.
With the assistance of the homeowner and the utilization of PPD drones, officers located the male hiding in the backyard of a nearby residence within minutes and were able to safely place him into custody. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted charges against the suspect for burglary of a habitation and possession of a controlled substance.
With citizen engagement, advanced drone technology, and highly trained officers, the Pasadena Police Department is able to protect the public and provide the highest level of service to our community.

TRAFFIC STOP LEADS TO ARREST
On Sunday, March 31, 2024, Precinct 8 Deputies Gossett and Nixon with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle with an expired registration in the 4300 block of S Shaver St. A check of the registration revealed it was expired as of November 2022. Deputies approached the vehicle and detected the odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. The driver was identified as 30 year old Christopher Daniel Luis.
Deputies proceeded to conduct a probable cause based search of the vehicle and located a handgun, 3.3 grams of marijuana and $1,543 in U.S. currency. A further search of the vehicle yielded 12 -1 pint bottles containing promethazine with codeine. Deputy Rabago and his K-9 partner Max arrived to assist in the investigation and positively alerted on the contraband.

🤍SOUTH BELT CLEAN UP 🤍
Wow, what an incredible sight! The Dobie High School students, athletes, coaches, and administration, along with Judge Delgado and Constable Jerry Garcia, recently teamed up to clean up our community. But that’s not all, they were joined by Morris Middle School, Milillo Middle School, Burnett Elementary, Beverly Hills Intermediate, and Fraser Elementary. Together, they worked tirelessly to make our area look its best. It was truly an inspiring display of teamwork and community spirit!
Family and friends gathered to celebrate Officer Bobby Keen’s retirement and his tremendous contributions to our community and the Pasadena Police Department over the past 41 years. Throughout his tenure, he has served in several capacities.
Officer Keen served as an Advanced Accident Investigator and Field Training Officer, was a member of the S.W.A.T. team for 18 years, taught Crime Prevention Classes and D.A.R.E. in the Community Services Division, was one of the department’s first bicycle officers, and earned a Master Peace Officer Proficiency License.
Bobby’s impact on the Pasadena community is immeasurable. As he reflected on his memories, he believes his greatest accomplishment was the positive influence he had on the lives of those around him. Bobby explained how grateful he is for the memories he experienced and the purpose he felt while serving his community.
He described his career as “profound” and explained a few things he kept in mind to ensure a successful professional work and personal life balance. First, he recommends always treating everyone as you would want your family to be treated. Second, although it is easy for us to get caught up in the ‘could’ve been and should’ve been’s’, remember to accept whatever the outcome may be, and most importantly, always do the right thing.
We congratulate Bobby on his retirement and wish him well as he spends quality time with his family as they build more memories together in the future.
Congratulations to South Houston High School’s Computer Science Team for their recent success at the District Academic UIL Meet. Great work by Mr. Oseguera and his students!!
There’s still room for a few more teams and hole sponsorship opportunities!
This Thursday will be sunny with a high of 79°, so don’t miss the opportunity to be on the golf course instead of in the office.
See you on the fairway⛳️

Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐶🐱
Our sweet girls have changed their new family’s life for the better! Check out what they had to say:
“We brought home Sparkles, now Maple, earlier this year. Our first dog Eloise needed a friend so badly, so we came to the shelter during the $10 adoption event and fell in love with this soft, spunky little girl almost instantly.
She fits into our home like she’s always meant to be here, her and Eloise took to each other within the first few hours of Maple being home. She’s brought so much joy and happiness into our home in such a short amount of time, we really couldn’t think of a better dog for us and for Eloise.
The second update is from Bathilda, who we call Hilly and another plethora of names she doesn’t respond to because she’s miss independent who doesn’t need any humans telling her what to do, who we adopted during the free summer adoptions.
She’s the queen of this house hands down, she keeps the dogs in order and keeps them from bothering her older brother Susan. She’s so incredibly tiny but has so much personality packed into her tiny little 5-pound body.
They’re both such incredible pets who we love to the moon and back. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us two members of our family. We love you guys and your staff so incredibly much; you’re doing a hard job and do a lot for the community.”

The La Porte Police Department is seeking the help of the public to identify the males depicted in this surveillance footage. On Wednesday, 03/27/24, during the nighttime hours, two white male subjects rode their bicycles into the parking lot for Zoom Car Wash, 9222 Spencer Hwy. The subjects then began to take apart and go through the vacuums, which if taken apart incorrectly or turned on could have resulted in thousands of dollars of damage to each one. The subjects search the contents of the vacuums and leave the location. Luckily there was no damage at this time.
If anyone recognizes these individuals, please contact the La Porte Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division at 281-842-3173 and reference case # 24-00853.
Congratulations to Rena Chang!!! She placed FIRST in the state for closing argument at the TPSA Criminal Justice Competition! To top it off she also earned the highest scholarship from TPSA for $2000!!!!

⚠️SCAM ALERT⚠️
The Pasadena Police Department Financial Crimes Division has received reports from citizens stating that someone claiming to be a Pasadena Police Officer has called them to request payment over the phone. THIS IS A SCAM! Although the scammer may use the name of actual PPD personnel, we advise citizens to take certain actions and be aware of the following information to avoid becoming a victim of a financial crime:
🔴 The scammer might:
🚩 Identify as a police officer investigating a case
🚩 Advise you not to tell anyone about the phone call
🚩 Use intimidation techniques or pressure you to release personal identification info. or financial info. to them
🚩 Attempt to keep you on the phone
🚩 Ask you to purchase a gift card and to lie about the reason for purchasing it
🚩 Will sometimes have accurate information about you or your family (names, address etc.)
🚩 Might claim that you are under investigation and that you need to pay a fine
❌ DO NOT click on any pop-ups on your computer or open unexpected emails from Microsoft, Apple, or any other notification advising of a virus (Suspects can then access your computer remotely after instructing you to contact a specific phone number)
❌DO NOT give any of your personal identifying information
o ***If you have an active/open case with PPD and you receive a call from someone claiming to be a Detective, you have the option to disconnect the phone call, call us, and ask to be transferred to the Detective assigned to your case for clarification/ verification
❌DO NOT click on any links that you receive via text or e-mail that appear to be from a financial institution. Instead, call your bank directly to inquire about your accounts.
❌DO NOT purchase gift cards and then provide the gift card number/PIN over the phone
❇️ PROTECT YOURSELF FROM BECOMING A VICTIM:
✅ Hang up on these callers and contact the police department (713)477-1221) for guidance.
✅ If you receive a suspicious phone call, hang up and contact your bank directly to verify whether or not someone is attempting to reach you about your account.
Please message or call us if you have any questions or need assistance.

In an inspiring display of collaboration between CTE programs at Pasadena High School Eagles, engineering students teamed up with culinary students to create something truly sweet and innovative! Using cutting-edge 3D printing technology, our budding engineers designed and produced custom cookie cutters, turning their digital designs into tangible tools. These cookie cutters were then passed on to us, where creativity flourished as they used them to craft delicious treats. This project exemplifies the power of teamwork and the endless possibilities when different programs come together. Here’s to the delicious treats of collaboration.
If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of individuals featured on our Most Wanted list, please contact Warrant Officer S. Jackson at 281.478.2088 or [email protected]
