Hi, I’m Kit. And I’ve started to hide…😔
Not because I want to disappear… but because I’m scared. The noise, the smells, the constant change, it’s all too much.
I’m a quiet soul with a tender heart. I don’t ask for much… just a calm, safe place where I don’t have to be afraid.
They say I’m sweet. That with patience, I’ll come out of my shell. But I’m on the Urgent List 💔, and I don’t know if I’ll get that chance…
Please, if you see me, don’t look away. I’m still here. And I still have love to give…

Adoption Forms Happy Tails Update! ❤️🐱
Frodo, previously named Jenna, has made quite the impression on her new family! Check out what they had to say:
“Frodo is so sweet! She loves to nap at the foot of the bed or on the back of the couch. She gets along great with our other kitty, Bowser (she is also adopted from the Pasadena Animal Shelter in 2023!), and is beginning to come out of her shell and play! She does have one strange habit – drinking from the toilet! My family and I are so happy we adopted her and that she fits right in!”

• On Friday, June 6th, at approximately 1:36 AM, an Officer conducted a traffic stop in the 1900 block of S 146 for an observed traffic violation. Upon contacting the driver, the Officer immediately detected an odor of marijuana coming from the inside of the vehicle. The driver was shown to have a Felony warrant out of Galveston County for Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle. There were two other occupants in the vehicle. They were removed from the vehicle so the Officer could conduct a probable cause search. During the search, the Officer located a black purse in the front passenger seat, and inside the purse, the Officer found a green leafy substance consistent with marijuana. The front seat passenger was taken into custody for possession of drug paraphernalia. The vehicle was released to the back seat passenger.
• On Friday, June 6th, at approximately 2:00 AM, Officers were dispatched to the 1200 block of S 16th for a vehicle in the ditch. Officers arrived and saw a white Jeep in the ditch, as described, with spinning wheels and the reverse lights illuminated. The driver and sole occupant exited the vehicle and was stumbling as he walked toward Officers. The driver had slurred speech, and he told Officers that he was at “The Moon,” where he consumed some alcoholic beverages before operating the vehicle. The driver refused to participate in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and was subsequently taken into custody for suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated. During an inventory of the vehicle, Officers located a loaded handgun in the center console. The HCDAO was contacted, and a charge of Felony Driving While Intoxicated – 3rd offense was accepted. The HCDAO declined to take the charge of Unlawfully Carrying a Weapon.
• On Saturday, June 7th, at approximately 2:20 AM, an Officer initiated a traffic stop in the 3800 block of Bay Area for an observed traffic violation. Upon contact with the driver, the Officer detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from the driver’s breath. The Officer asked the driver to step out of the vehicle, and as he did, the Officer noticed the driver was unsteady on his feet. The driver admitted to drinking alcohol approximately one hour before being stopped. The driver declined to participate in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and was subsequently taken into custody for suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated. The HCDAO was contacted, and the charge of Felony Driving While Intoxicated – 3rd offense was accepted.
• On Wednesday, July 11th, at approximately 2:05 AM, Officers were dispatched to 702 S 146 in reference to a physical disturbance. Officers arrived and met with the 65-year-old wheelchair bound victim, who told Officers he had been assaulted by a female who was still on the property. Officers located the female suspect, who told Officers the victim was being rude and disrespectful to her. She said she did not assault him and that she was simply trying to “wheel him out of the room”. The female said she had not met the victim before today. After speaking with the suspect, the victim told Officers a male subject took the suspect and him to the Scottish Hotel, and they all were staying in a room on the second floor. A verbal argument ensued between the female and the male subject. The male subject left the room, and the female turned her anger towards the victim. The victim said the female pulled him out of the room while he was in his wheelchair. During this process, the female hit the victim twice in the face with a closed fist. Officers did observe a swollen red mark on the victim’s face and a scratch on his left armpit. The victim also had half of his toenail ripped off with visible bleeding. The clerk at the hotel witnessed the incident live on surveillance cameras and confirmed the account given by the victim. The HCDAO was contacted, and the Felony charge of Assault against an elderly disabled individual was accepted.
• On Wednesday, June 11th, at approximately 7:50 AM, Officers located a vehicle whose owner is known to have multiple outstanding Felony warrants. The vehicle was found at 11022 Deaf Smith, and Detectives confirmed the subject was at this location. Officers and Detectives contacted the subject in the front yard of this residence and placed him into custody for the multiple Felony warrants.
This year’s Safety Fair and Hurricane Workshop was a resounding success. Hosted annually on the first Saturday in June, the event is a collaborative effort between the Southeast Regional Local Emergency Planning Committee (SERLEPC) and the Pasadena Office of Emergency Management. Offered free of charge to the public, the event underscores our ongoing commitment to community preparedness and safety.
On April 30, 2025, the Precinct 8 Street Crimes Unit executed a search warrant in the 1300 block of Cedar St., in Deer Park after a lengthy investigation regarding the sale of narcotics. Deputies located 8.62 lbs. of Marijuana, and 22 orange pills labeled AD30, believed to be Adderall, and two firearms inside the residence. The subject, 21-year-old Robert John Smith Jr., was released at the scene pending test results of the narcotics located. The results returned and found the orange pills labeled AD30 tested positive for Methamphetamine and not Adderall. An arrest warrant was issued for Mr. Smith for Possession of Controlled Substances with Intent to Distribute.
On June 9, 2025, members of the Precinct 8 Street Crimes Unit were conducting surveillance on the residence when Mr. Smith left the location. Mr. Smith was eventually stopped and arrested for his warrant. Mr. Smith was found to have approximately 1.354 ounces of Marijuana in his left front pocket. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted regarding the Marijuana found in Mr. Smith’s possession but declined charges due to having the PCS warrant. Mr. Smith was transported to JPC, where he was booked without incident.

On June 11, 2025, at approximately 1609 hours, Sgt. M. Self was dispatched to an assault call at the 16400 block of El Camino Real. Sgt. M. Self arrived on scene and met with the victim and witness. Both stated that while unloading plants from their vehicle they observed a white male, wearing a red backpack, black shirt and dark colored jeans walking through the parking lot. The victim advised while she turned her back to reach into the rear of her vehicle, the unidentified male ran behind her and struck her behind the left ear and neck area, and left shoulder blade causing her pain and discomfort. Immediately after, the suspect started running after the witness. The witness was able to run to the front of her vehicle and avoid the suspect. The victim and witness stated the male suspect then walked across the street, where they lost visual of him.
Deputies A. Bullock and S. Ahmed arrived on location and spoke to the manager who obtained security footage of the assault. Sgt. M. Self observed a male matching the description walking through the parking lot of a business, located at the 1000 block of Bay Area Blvd. Sgt. M. Self along with Deputies A. Bullock and S. Ahmed were able to make contact with the male and safely detain him. The male was identified as 26-year-old Anthony Joseph Carignan. A check of Carignan’s information showed him to have an active warrant through the Harris County Sheriff’s Office for “Criminal Mischief”. Carignan was transported back to the scene where he was positively identified.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted, and the charge of Assault was accepted. Carignan was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where he was booked without incident.

But she’s on the Urgent List and is running out of time…can you save her?

🦅 Eagle Nation Celebrates Eagle Plus Parent Graduates!🦅
We’re proud to share this special video created by our district media team, capturing the heart and purpose of the Eagle Plus School for Parents program.
Now in its third year, Eagle Plus continues to empower families by strengthening school-home connections, improving communication, and equipping parents to support their students’ success.

Your commitment to growth and your children’s futures is truly inspiring.
📢 Looking ahead to next year — we’re growing!
In 2025, the Eagle Plus program will expand to include both Spanish and English cohorts, hosted at Jackson Intermediate and Pasadena High School. This initiative is proudly led by Mrs. Retta and a team of dedicated volunteers who’ve supported this mission from day one.

🥺 Does an old guy like me deserve a second chance?
My name is Rufus. I’m a gentle soul with thinning fur, and eyes that have seen more than most. I’ve lost some of my coat, probably allergies, and I’m heartworm positive… but treatment is available if someone is willing to fight for me.
I was once someone’s dog. I had a place. A name. Now I struggle in the shelter and listen to the younger ones leave before me. I try to stay hopeful, but each day gets a little quieter. A little colder.
They tell me I’m calm. That I’m sweet. That I still have so much love left to give. But I’m on the Urgent List 🚨 and my time is almost up…If you’re reading this, please… don’t let this be how my story ends.

🚨 Auto Theft Suspects Caught Thanks to Teamwork! 🚨
On 6/10/25 around 8:20 PM, Precinct 2 Deputies responded to a call about a vehicle theft in progress at a vacant home. A citizen reported seeing three suspects trying to steal a vehicle — the same location where a truck had been stolen the day before.
Thanks to a tip from a wrecker driver, deputies traced the tow request to an address in Galena Park. That led investigators to Justin William Boon, who was positively ID’d from surveillance footage.
Precinct 2, Houston PD, and Galena Park PD worked together to detain Boon and two others. Deputies also recovered the stolen truck from the day before on the property!
👮♂️ Boon and Jesus Lozano were charged with Burglary of a Building.
👏 Huge kudos to our deputies for their great work every step of the way.
This is what strong teamwork across agencies looks like! 💪
It’s time for a pawsome adoption event with the Shell FCU Team.
We’ve got snuggly, playful pets who can’t wait to meet you, and adoptions are just $20! 🐶🐱
Bring your family, tell your friends, and come help our animals start their next chapter with you.

Hello Texan Family!
We’ve put together a helpful list of opportunities to plan ahead for your student’s time away from school—whether for vacations, appointments, or other commitments. We encourage you to review it and make arrangements in advance. Let’s work together to support our students’ success!
📸 We told our senior girl to say “cheese”… and this was the look she gave us!
Ellie has gentle eyes, a heart full of love, and the sweetest face you’ll ever meet. Arthritis may slow her down, but it doesn’t stop her from soaking up affection and dreaming of a soft bed and a quiet home.
She’ll need a full veterinary work-up to help her feel her very best, along with someone patient and kind to help her settle in.
But Ellie is on the Urgent List 🚨, and time is running out. If slow strolls, warm cuddles, and soulful companionship sound like your kind of life, Ellie’s ready to meet you.

Now he’s one of our longest stay dogs… and he’s landed on the Urgent List 🚨.
He’s running out of time and all he wants is a chance to be someone’s best friend. Could that someone be you?

No one came for me….💔
Not when I was rescued from that crowded house in April. Not when I arrived at the shelter, scared and silent. Not when I sat in the back of my kennel, hoping someone might stop and see me.
My name is Jeff. I’m a survivor of a hoarding case. There were too many of us, not enough space, not enough love, but it was the only life I knew.
Now I’m here. And it’s louder. Scarier. I try to be brave, but most days, I just tuck my tail and wait. I’m sweet. I’m potty trained. I just want a chance.
But I’m on the Urgent List now 🚨. Please… if you’re reading this, don’t scroll past me. I just want to know what it feels like to be loved…before it’s too late.

Hi, I’m Ranger and I tuck my tail because I’m scared 💔.
I’m a sweet boy with energy to burn and a mind that loves to work. But inside my kennel, I’m starting to break down. I pace. I bark. I don’t know what to do with myself.
But outside? I come alive. I’m smart, playful, and ready for adventure. I just need someone who sees past my stress and understands a dog like me.
But I’m on the Urgent List 🚨 and time’s running out. Please help me find a second chance, so I can be the dog I was meant to be…

Citizen Tip Leads to Safe Intervention 🚨
On June 11, 2025, Deputies with Harris County Constable Precinct #2 responded to a citizen’s report of a possible intoxicated driver. The caller observed a black truck failing to maintain a single lane while approaching the area.
Deputies quickly located the vehicle and observed several traffic violations, including failing to signal lane changes and driving on the shoulder. A traffic stop was initiated in the 8100 block of the South Sam Houston Tollway East.
The driver, identified as 42-year-old Juventino Duran, exhibited clear signs of intoxication. After conducting the Standardized Field Sobriety Test, deputies determined Mr. Duran was impaired and unfit to operate a motor vehicle safely.
During the investigation, deputies also discovered Mr. Duran was unlawfully carrying a weapon. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted charges for: Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon (UCW). Mr. Duran was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Harris County Jail.
👀 We extend our sincere thanks to the vigilant citizen who reported the dangerous behavior. Your awareness plays a vital role in protecting our roadways and community.

Meet today’s Foster Features: Baird & Salt! 🐾
These two are thriving in foster care — and while they’re not bonded, they’ve both made a big impression in their own unique ways.
🐶 Baird is the definition of calm and comforting.
He spends most of his day relaxing, watching the world go by from the window, or catching up on naps. He enjoys gentle affection, especially little forehead pats, and is happiest when he can be close to his person. His crate is his quiet retreat, where he’ll sometimes go to recharge when he’s feeling more introverted.
Though laid-back, Baird still enjoys playful moments with the younger dogs in the home. He’s very well-mannered around people and would be a wonderful emotional support companion. His foster is still learning about his behavior around children, but so far, he seems like a genuinely sweet and adaptable dog.
🐶 Salt, affectionately known as Sal, is a young pup with a bright spirit.
He’s doing great with other dogs, is full of energy, and is currently working on crate training and basic cues. He’s eager to learn and be part of a home where he can continue to grow. While you’re working from home, Salt is happy to quietly entertain himself nearby — whether playing with toys or curling up for a nap. He’s the kind of companion who just wants to be close.
Both Baird and Salt are available for adoption (individually) and would love to find a home where they can feel safe, loved, and part of the family.
➡️ Interested in meeting one of them? Fill out a quick form here: https://www.pasadenatx.gov/FormCenter/Animal-Adoption-and-Foster-Applications-10/Animal-Adoption-Application-66

Hi, I’m Jeff… and I’m a survivor of a hoarding case 💔.
Back in April, they took me from a home with too many of us. The woman meant well… she just wanted to help. But there were too many of us, and not enough space.
Now I’m in a shelter. It’s loud. It’s scary. I’m still trying to be brave. They tell me I’m sweet and potty trained. I never asked for much, just a quiet place, a kind hand, and a little love.
But time is running out and I’m on the Urgent List 🚨. Please… if you have space in your heart, could you be the one to save me?

Silvia’s family never came back for her 💔
Silvia was adopted in late 2023. We thought it was her happy ending. But last month, she showed up as a stray, alone and confused. We tried everything to reach her adopter. No one ever answered.
Her finders say she’s sweet, gentle, and wonderful with kids. She’s potty- and kennel-trained, and she used to do well in doggy playgroups, she just needs calm companions like her.
Now Silvia sits quietly in her kennel, waiting again… but this time, time is running out. She’s on the Urgent List 🚨. Please don’t let this be how her story ends. She deserves so much more…

Evading Suspect Arrested After Foot Pursuit 🚨
In the early morning hours, Deputies with the Harris County Constable Precinct 2 Office attempted to stop a vehicle traveling 86 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. The driver refused to stop, leading to a brief vehicle pursuit. Both the driver and passenger fled on foot after the vehicle came to a stop.
Deputies were able to detain the passenger, who was later charged and booked into the Harris County Joint Processing Center for Misdemeanor Evading on foot. The passenger was identified as 19 year old Juan Sifuentes.
We want to inform the community that the investigation related to a this vehicle pursuit and foot chase is still ongoing. At this time, the driver involved has not yet been officially identified, but our deputies are actively working to confirm their identity.
🔍 There is no immediate threat to the public, and this incident was an isolated event.
We appreciate the community’s support and cooperation as we continue to gather evidence and follow up on leads.

URGENT: Walter Needs a Miracle 💔
Walter came to us broken—his skin raw from a very bad skin infection, his eyes clouded with gunk and pain. We’re doing all we can to take care of him, but he needs a home and continued care out of the shelter to heal.
Walter is gentle, sweet, and just wants a a second chance. But he’s on the Urgent List 🚨 and time is running out…
Can you help Walter find an adopter or rescue to save him?

How cute is this face? 😍
Dutchess is a sweet, medium-sized girl with so much love to give. She was recently adopted but unfortunately had to come back after a conflict with the adopter’s other dog. No one was hurt, but it was clear she’d do best as the only pet in the home.
Since her return, Dutchess has been struggling. The stress of the kennel is starting to take its toll, and we can see the worry in her eyes. She’s on the Urgent List 🚨, and her time is running short.
But Dutchess is so much more than her past. She doesn’t need perfect—just someone willing to see her, choose her, and give her a real shot. Can you be that person?

WILDLIFE INTERVENTION & LOCAL DEFENSE ASSISTS CONSTABLE’S OFFICE WITH FURY FELONS
Constable Jerry Garcia wants to take a moment to spotlight Mr. Robert with Wildlife Intervention & Local Defense (W.I.L.D). Recently Constable Garcia was contacted by an elderly female who was having severe issues with rodents destroying her residence. Literally animals were chewing through her roof and other parts of her house in order to gain access.
Having nowhere else to turn, she reached out to Constable Garcia, who truly believes in the Serving part of “To Serve and Protect.” Immediately Constable Garcia began reaching out to Community Partners when he was provided Mr. Roberts Information. Mr. Robert immediately jumped into action and began the process of removing what was now found to be a mother raccoon and several babies from the attic of this residence.
Mr. Robert truly went above and beyond on the services he provided to this residence, and not only safely and humanely relocated these burglars, but properly sealed up her residence to detour any potential returns.
Thank you W.I.L.D. for everything, your service and assistance are truly appreciated. If anyone out there is having similar issues, we highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Robert. God Bless.

While we are always grateful for your donations, the team here at the Pasadena Animal Shelter feels it’s important to share the love and give credit where credit is due. 🖤🩶🤍🤎
***When the hoarding call came in this week, our shelter space was already maxed out, so we knew help was needed. These three organizations came to OUR rescue and we are forever grateful. Please consider a donation to Houston SPCA, Houston Pets Alive and/or Three Little Pitties Rescue to help offset the medical and care costs for the dozens of sweet pups they took in this week. Caring for our community pets is a collaborative effort, and we are so thankful for your support and that of our partners.
Deputies Address Loitering and Open Container Complaint
A citizen reported a homeless male loitering and consuming alcohol in a commercial strip. Precinct 2 deputies responded and observed two males loitering on private business property, both in possession of open alcoholic beverage containers.
After identifying both individuals, it was discovered that one male had an active warrant out of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. The subject was detained, the warrant was confirmed, and he was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center without incident.
Precinct 2 remains committed to addressing community concerns and maintaining public safety. God bless and stay safe!

My name is Frankie… and no one has come for me. 💔
I’ve been here for over 60 days, watching other dogs leave with wagging tails… while I stay behind, still waiting. Still hoping.
I try to be brave. I still greet people with soft eyes and a wag. I’m gentle, I love to play, and I get along with other dogs. I have so much love to give…
But I’m on the 🚨 Urgent List 🚨 now and time is slipping away. I don’t want this to be the end of my story. Please… if you’re out there, I’m still here. I’m still waiting.

They’re battling some common shelter bugs (worms, coccidia, and an upper respiratory infection), but what they really need is a cozy home and a little TLC to thrive.
But they’re on the 🚨 Urgent List 🚨 and don’t have much time left! Please help them. These two don’t belong in a kennel. They belong in someone’s arms.

🚨 Rescue Plea for Oscar: he’s hurting in body and in spirit 🚨
He needs an FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery to relieve the pain, but stuck in a crowded shelter, all he can do is wait. And hope.
Through it all, Oscar remains gentle. He greets people with soft eyes and a quiet heart, never asking for much, just a chance to feel safe, to be loved, to heal.
But Oscar is now on the Urgent List 💔, and his time is running out. He doesn’t deserve to spend another day in pain. He deserves a soft bed, a kind hand, and a rescue willing to give him the second chance he’s still waiting for.
Please don’t let this be the end of his story…

It is with a very heavy heart that the Harris County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office announces the untimely passing of Sergeant Manuel Edwards. Sergeant Edwards was involved in an auto-pedestrian accident this morning while he was riding his bicycle off duty. Upon being involved in this accident, he was quickly life-flighted to Memorial Herman Hospital, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Sergeant Edwards proudly served the citizens of Harris County since 2006, where he started his law enforcement career as a detention officer with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. In 2008, Sergeant Edwards was hired by the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable’s Office, where he worked until transferring to the Harris County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office in May of 2021. During his tenure at Precinct 2, Sergeant Edwards was assigned to the Toll Road Division, where he truly shined with his compassionate approach and strong work ethic. His passion and knowledge quickly led to his promotion to the rank of Sergeant in 2023.
Sergeant Edwards was always known as a big guy with a huge, joyful personality around the office, and always had an infectious smile on his face. He was the epitome of a family man, always taking great pride in his children and wife, frequently talking about them.
Sergeant Edwards will forever be missed and never replaced in Precinct 2’s heart. We want to wish the Edwards family all of our support and prayers during this difficult time, and know that we all stand with you as one family.
We would also like to take a moment to thank all our law enforcement partners for the invaluable assistance they have provided so far. Thank you to the Harris County Constable Precinct’s 3,5,6,7, and 8, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Fort Bend County Constable Precinct’s 1, 3, and 4, the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office, and the Houston Police Department. We also want to thank the staff at Memorial Hermann Hospital, including the Medical and Security Personnel, for their professionalism and support during this difficult time.
Please keep Sergeant Edward’s family in your thoughts and prayers as we endure this tragic loss.
God Bless You All.

Deputies with Harris County Constable Precinct 2 were patrolling the South Sam Houston Parkway East when they conducted a traffic stop for an expired registration. During the stop, the driver stated they had no valid ID or driver’s license and proceeded to provide false names and birthdates—twice. After unsuccessful attempts to verify their identity, deputies requested assistance from a Mobile AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) unit. A fingerprint scan revealed a confirmed warrant hit. The driver was positively identified as 37-year-old Natalia Saldana, who had an active probation violation warrant. Ms. Saldana was taken into custody and booked into the Harris County Jail without incident. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted charges of Failure to Identify to a Peace Officer (Fugitive).
👏 Outstanding work by our deputies and the smart use of technology to keep our community safe.
We are saddened to announce the on-duty passing of Sgt. J.D. White of the Angleton Police Department. He was tragically struck while directing traffic. Our hearts go out to his family, colleagues, and the entire community.

On Thursday May 29, 2025, Deputies received a call for service at the 8000 block of Fuqua St. regarding a male that was loitering around the store exiting and entering again just before closing, which made them feel unsafe.
Deputies were able to locate the male and was detained was identified by using the department issued mobile automated fingerprinting system (AFIS) as 42 year old Garza, David. After a brief investigation, David was found to have a cellophane baggie with a clear crystal like substance, which in the deputies training and experience was crystal methamphetamine.
David was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and was booked into Harris County jail without further incident.
Stay safe, God bless.
Toll Road Deputies with Harris County Constable Precinct 2 were actively conducting traffic enforcement in the 4200 block of S Sam Houston Parkway E when they observed a vehicle committing multiple violations, including: Brake checking other drivers. Attempting to run a red light.
A traffic stop was initiated, and the driver—64-year-old Geraldine Mason—showed signs of intoxication. Following a DWI investigation, she was taken into custody without incident and charged with Driving While Intoxicated.
🚗💡 Let this serve as a reminder: impaired driving puts lives at risk. Please drive safely and responsibly.
Traffic Stop leads to arrest
Earlier today, a Harris County Precinct 2 Constable Deputy observed a vehicle traveling nearly twice the posted limit. Harris County Precinct Two Deputy immediately initiated a traffic stop for the speeding violation.
During the stop, the deputy discovered that the driver had an open warrant. Additionally, the registration sticker on the vehicle did not match the vehicle’s information. When asked, the driver admitted to placing the sticker on the vehicle himself.
The Assistant District Attorney was contacted and accepted charges for Tampering with a Government Document. The driver was taken into custody without incident.
Precinct 2 deputies remain committed to keeping our community safe through proactive policing and thorough investigations.

On Friday May 30, 2025, deputies while on active patrol observed a male soliciting from a public roadway at the intersection of Edgebrook Dr and Gulf freeway.
Deputies were able to detained the male due to having an extensive history of evading on foot. The male was identified by using the department issued mobile automated fingerprinting system (AFIS) as 25 year old Demond Parish. After the deputies entered this information into NCIC the male returned with an outstanding felony warrant for evading arrest.
Demond was arrested for the warrant and was booked into Harris County jail without further incident.
Stay safe, God bless.

Deputies Arrest Fleeing Wanted Suspect
Our office continues to receive multiple complaints regarding solicitors impeding traffic or becoming aggressive with drivers on the roadway.
In response to these concerns, a deputy observed a solicitor in the area of Broadway St and Gulf Fwy earlier today.
As the deputy made contact and began a field interview, the individual suddenly fled on foot. The deputy pursued and successfully detained the solicitor without incident or injury to either party.
Further investigation revealed that the individual had an open warrant. The Assistant District Attorney was contacted and accepted charges for Evading Arrest (on foot).
We appreciate the community’s continued support in helping us keep our roads safe. Please continue to report any suspicious or unsafe behavior.

Officer Haesly from the Community Engagement Unit was invited to participate in L. B. Keller Middle School’s STEM Festival, so she brought a hands-on activity for the students to enjoy. Keeping it police related, she set up a fingerprinting station, giving students a fun and interactive way to learn about forensic science and how fingerprints are used in real-world investigations. It was a great opportunity to spark curiosity, answer questions, and show students how science and law enforcement go hand in hand.

POLICE BRIEFS
(all subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty)
* On Saturday, May 24th, at approximately 3:15 AM, Officers initiated a traffic stop on a bicyclist for operating without a front-mounted light. The subject gave verbal consent for Officers to search his backpack. Inside, Officers located a prescription pill bottle with a name on the bottle different than the person in possession of the prescription. There were roughly 104 pills inside the bottle, and the pills were identified as “Gabapentin.” The subject was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance – Penalty Group 5.
*On Sunday, May 25th, at approximately 2:15 AM, Officers initiated a traffic stop in the 11900 block of W Fairmont for an observed traffic violation. The driver of the vehicle was unable to provide proof of financial responsibility and could only provide a Texas ID card. The driver did have an active Felony warrant for Family Violence Assault – Impeding Breath. The driver was arrested on the active Felony warrant.
*On Sunday, May 25th, at approximately 3:35 AM, Officers were dispatched to the Dollar General located at 10405 W Fairmont in reference to an alarm. Officers arrived and found that the front glass door of the business was shattered. Officers saw a male inside the business sitting on the desk of the checkout area. The subject complied with the Officers’ verbal commands and exited the business. No other subjects were located inside the store. The suspect (juvenile) told Officers he broke into the building by throwing a rock at the front glass door. He said he went inside, used the restroom, and then took some food and drink from the refrigerator section. He said his intentions were to break into the store to steal a snack. Officers saw a rock inside the building and an open drink/snack near the area where the male was sitting when Officers arrived. Surveillance footage from the store confirmed the juvenile’s account. The HCDAO was contacted and the Felony charge of Burglary of a Building was accepted. The juvenile was arrested and later released to a responsible party.
*On Sunday, May 25th, at approximately 5:04 PM, Officers were dispatched to the 2100 block of N 146 in reference to a possible assault. Officers arrived and met with a Port of Houston Police Officer who told Officers he saw a woman, later identified as the victim of the assault, run into the road as he was driving by. The Port Police Officer contacted the woman, and she told the Port Police Officer her boyfriend had assaulted her. The male subject was also on scene and the Port Police Officer detained the male subject. The La Porte Officer spoke with the female subject and saw a visible red mark on the right side of her face, with bruises on both wrists, and a bruise on her left thigh. The female said the assault took place in the 100 block of N 76th Street in Houston when the female tried to exit the vehicle being driven by her boyfriend (suspect). The two were arguing because the suspect was drinking and driving. When the female tried to exit the car, the suspect pulled her back in by her hair. As the two struggled, the suspect pulled her by her wrist and put his knee on her. The female also said the suspect slapped her in the face with an open hand. The female went on to say that the suspect had hit her before this latest incident. Officers then contacted the male suspect, and after being issued his Miranda warning, the suspect denied hitting her or pulling her hair. He did say the two were arguing, but claimed it was because she accused him of infidelity. When questioned as to how they arrived in La Porte, the suspect said he “just began driving.” Officers contacted the Harris County Constable’s Office in Precinct 6, the location where the offense occurred, but they declined to respond to the scene. Officers contacted the HCDAO, and a charge of Felony Family Violence Assault – One Prior Conviction was accepted.

Pasadena ISD schools always find a way to make things fun, and LF Smith Elementary didn’t disappoint. Before the school year wrapped up, they threw an End-of-Year Attendance Glow Dance Party to celebrate students who finished the semester with 96% or better attendance. It was really something to see, so many kids who rarely missed a day of school. The music was going, the lights were glowing, and everyone was having a great time! Pasadena Police even stopped by to join in on the fun and celebrate these exceptional students!
🕺 C’mon hooman! Let’s dance!
Meet Tucker, the king of two-step! This sweet boy is potty trained, dog-friendly, smart, and has a heart of gold. Outside his kennel, he’s a total softie: loyal, gentle, and ready to bond with his person.
Shelter life’s been hard on him, but he hasn’t lost his spark. He’s just waiting for someone to see it.
🚨 But he’s on the Urgent List, and time is running out, but you can change his story. Give Tucker a chance to shine (and maybe teach you a few dance moves while he’s at it).

Got room in your heart for a gentle soul? Meet Chip! ❤️
This sweet boy is all heart (with a side of Lab wiggles)! Shelter life has been a little too loud and overwhelming for Chip, but take him out for a walk, and you’ll see the magic start to happen. His tail loosens up, his eyes soften, and that lovable personality peeks through.
Chip just needs a calm, patient home where he can breathe, decompress, and feel safe. In return? You’ll get loyalty, love, and a forever best friend who’s ready to give you everything he’s got.

While conducting proactive patrols in a high-crime area known for drug activity, a night shift sergeant made contact with Michell Williams. As part of ongoing efforts to reduce illegal narcotics in the community, the sergeant discovered Williams to be in possession of a controlled substance and confirmed she had two active warrants. Williams was taken into custody without incident and booked into JPC. This arrest reflects our continued commitment to improving neighborhood safety and addressing criminal activity that impacts the quality of life for residents.
🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE 🚨
We’ve received multiple reports of a phone scam where individuals are receiving calls from someone claiming to be with the La Porte Police Department. The caller ID may even display our department’s name or number, but these calls are NOT from us.
The scammer tells the victim they have an active warrant and must pay money immediately to avoid arrest. They may ask you to:
🔴 Buy gift cards
🔴 Make payments over the phone
🔴 Share personal or financial information
The La Porte Police Department will never:
✔️ Call you to request or collect money
✔️ Ask you to purchase gift cards or make payments by phone
✔️ Handle any court-related issues over the phone
All official court proceedings and warrant notifications are handled by mail or in person, not over a phone call.
👉 If you receive one of these calls, hang up immediately. Do not give out any personal information, and report the call to us.

Hi, I’m Rose, and I need your help to heal. 🌹
I’m a quiet, gentle soul with eyes that hurt and ears that itch. The vets say it’s pigmentary keratitis, corneal edema, and some infections but I’m on treatment now, and they say I’m getting better.
I don’t ask for much. A soft bed, a calm home, and someone who will love me through the healing. I’ve been through more than I can say, but I still have hope.
They tell me I’m sweet, mellow, and full of love. I just need someone to believe I’m worth saving because I’m on the Urgent List 🚨, and time is running out. Can you help me?
Love,
Rose

Thiago is hurting. 💔
His people never came back… and now he waits alone, day after day, with zero applications. He doesn’t understand why no one wants him.
Thiago is sweet, loyal, and full of love. But shelter life is breaking his spirit. He’s strong on leash, can jump fences, and needs someone patient, experienced, and kind. Someone who sees his potential, not just his past.
He’s not perfect. But he’s trying. And he’s so worth it. Please don’t let him be forgotten. Come meet Thiago before time runs out because he’s on the Urgent List…🚨

Congratulations to Our 28th Junior Citizen Police Academy Class Graduates!
Last week, we proudly celebrated the graduation of our Junior Citizen Police Academy. Completing this 12-week program was no small task—these students demonstrated incredible commitment by attending every Monday from 6–9 PM despite long school days and busy schedules.
Their dedication showed maturity and a desire to learn. They not only gained knowledge but also formed friendships and strong connections with one another and with us.
What stands out the most is that all 25 students who started the program completed it, and we couldn’t be more proud. The Pasadena Police Department is honored to be a part of their journey, and we’ll always be here as a resource and support for their future.
Thank you, graduates, for your time, effort, and energy. You keep us young!

Animal Rescue Alert – Precinct 2 Deputies to the Rescue!
Earlier today, Harris County Constable Precinct 2 Deputies responded to an animal humane call after a concerned citizen reported a cat stuck in the undercarriage of her vehicle. The caller stated she witnessed someone abandon the feline near her home yesterday afternoon. Shortly after, she saw the cat climb under her car and later realized it had become trapped.
Deputy Trevino arrived on scene and, with a little patience and persuasion, was able to safely remove the frightened feline from the vehicle. Thankfully, the caller kindly volunteered to take custody of the cat and help find it a loving new home.
A friendly reminder: While this cat was fortunate to be rescued, it is against Texas state law to abandon animals. If you’re unable to care for a pet, please contact a local shelter or rescue organization for help.
Thank you, Deputy Trevino, for your compassion and quick response!

STAFF FAVORITE SPOTLIGHT: JACKSON! ⭐️
If you’re looking for a dog who’s well-mannered, playful, and hilarious, Jackson’s your guy. At 6 years old, he’s past the puppy phase but still has that bouncy boxer energy that keeps life fun!
Here’s what his previous foster had to say:
💬 “This dog has the BEST manners.”
💬 “He’s calm, but still playful. A total sweetheart.”
💬 “He LOVES kids, just better with ones 10+ because he doesn’t realize he’s a tank.”
💬 “Not a big barker! Just lets you know when someone’s at the door, then chills.”
💬 “He’s super smart: he knows ‘crate,’ ‘off,’ ‘down,’ ‘outside,’ and more!”
💬 “Crate-trained, house-trained, no aggression, and LOVES car rides.”
💬 “He even tries to join you in the shower, he’s a total water dog!”
Jackson does best with an active family and would thrive in a home where he can be part of the fun. Walks, beach days, road trips, he’s down for it all. Just give him a couple of weeks to settle in and you’ll have a lifelong buddy who’s equal parts snuggle bug and adventure pup.
⭐️ Adopt for $5 or foster for FREE. If you foster, food, a crate, and supplies are included. APPLY HERE: https://www.pasadenatx.gov/FormCenter/Animal-Adoption-and-Foster-Applications-10

Shoutout to our youngest heroes! 🐾🧡
Ms. Camfield’s 6th grade “Shelter Helpers” at Westbrook Intermediate have been hard at work turning donated fleece into the cutest, coziest no-sew blankets for our pets!
Thanks to their creativity and kindness, our dogs and cats now have a little extra comfort while they wait for forever homes. 🐶🐱
Big hearts come in small packages and these students proved it! We thank them for making a difference, one blanket at a time!
In 1985, Officer David M. Staley passed away after suffering a cardiac event at his home. Officer Staley took part in academy class #18, which graduated in the year 1968. A beloved Field Training Officer and friend, members of the department felt it was important to honor his memory. Officer Joe Tammaro, who Staley had trained as a probationary officer, was a key contributor to facilitating the purchase and dedication of the memorial. While he is no longer with our department, all these years later, Officer Tammaro remains a close friend of the Staley family.
The memorial was originally placed under an oak tree along the east drive of the old police station, which eventually became the location of the new Municipal Courthouse. With the opening of the Pasadena Plaza in front of the Police Station, the department felt this was the perfect time to relocate the marker to a new location, closer to the station.
With the family’s blessing, the memorial stone is now situated under a different oak tree along a walkway in the plaza, where passerbys can bear remembrance to Officer Staley as they come and go from the station.
As the 2024-2025 school year comes to a close, we reflect on the achievements, friendships, and unforgettable moments that made this year special. From academic successes to exciting events, our students and staff have shown resilience and dedication.
Here are our best memories, captured in photos—snapshots of learning, laughter, and growth. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. We can’t wait for another great year ahead! Click to view: https://ow.ly/swRo50VY6BT
Last Friday, we celebrated our 10th year partnering with UPS Industrial Services with another successful Golf Invitational benefitting the Pasadena Assist the Officer Fund. We want to thank UPS Industrial Services for their continued support as our co-host and corporate sponsor. Additional sponsors included Total Safety Supplies and Solutions, Groves Industrial, Aloha Workwear, Alan Helfman from River Oaks Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram and so many others. Simply put, this fundraiser would not be possible without your continued participation and generosity.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Pasadena Police Department family, for countless hours of volunteer service, financial contributions and item donations. Year after year we see everyone step up to be a part of this benefit and every year it grows bigger and better.
The Assist the Officer Fund is an important nonprofit organization that distributes several annual scholarships to children of our officers, as well as helping members of our Pasadena PD family in times of crisis and financial need. Thank you again to everyone who took part in this event and contributed to this very special and worthy cause!

🏆 Drumroll, please… Cutest Ears Champion: FINN!
Finn’s the kind of pup who finds joy in everything: treats, toys, hugs, and just being around people. He’s a happy little guy with a heart full of love and some seriously award-worthy ears!
But the shelter is loud and a little scary for him right now. He’s shy, but sweet, and in the right home, his gentle, playful spirit will shine.
But Finn’s on the Urgent List 🚨, and time is running out. He just needs one chance… could it be with you?

****POLICE BRIEFS****
(all subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty)
• On Saturday, May 17th, at approximately 8:03 PM, an Officer initiated a traffic stop in the 9000 block of Spencer for an observed traffic violation. A La Porte Police Department K9 alerted on the vehicle, indicating there might be illegal narcotics inside the car. A probable cause search of the vehicle was conducted. Inside the vehicle and near where the K9 alerted, an Officer located a clear plastic bag containing a substance suspected to be methamphetamine. The K9 Officer also located small strips of paper secreted inside a container in the center console. The strips of paper are consistent with LSD strips. The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle was subsequently arrested, and the HCDAO was contacted. The charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance – Penalty Group 1 was accepted.
• On Sunday, May 18th, at approximately 1:42 AM, Officers were dispatched to the area of the 1100 block of W Main in reference to a reckless driver. An Officer did observe a vehicle matching the description given by dispatch and a traffic stop was initiated for an observed traffic violation. As the Officer attempted to contact the driver, the vehicle slowly moved forward, and the driver failed to yield. The Officer followed the vehicle with his emergency overhead equipment activated, along with audible sirens. The vehicle failed to yield while continuing east on W Main. The Officer observed the vehicle drive into oncoming traffic in the westbound lanes before swerving back into the eastbound lanes. The Officer gave verbal commands over the PA system, but the driver failed to yield. Speeds ranged from 5-30 miles per hour, and the vehicle disregarded a traffic control device at W Main and S Broadway. The driver stopped in the 100 block of E Main and complied with the Officers’ commands to exit the vehicle. The driver was immediately detained, and signs of intoxication were observed. The vehicle showed obvious damage to the left side mirror and front bumper. Officers located a loaded handgun in the vehicle. The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle was arrested for suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated. The HCDAO was contacted, and charges of Driving While Intoxicated, Unlawfully Carrying a Weapon, and Evading Detention were accepted.
• On Monday, May 19th, at approximately 7:40 AM, Officers were dispatched to 1026 S 8th in reference to a trespass of a business. Officers arrived and found two subjects in a gazebo on the south side of the property. The business owners indicated they would like to trespass the two subjects. Officers recognized one of the two subjects by name and sight. This subject is known to have a history of possessing narcotics. During the consensual encounter, Officers saw the known subject throw an item behind the seat on which he was seated. Officers detained the subject. During a pat down of the subject, Officers located a smoking pipe in the left front pants pocket. The pipe was burned at one end, which is indicative of being used to smoke methamphetamine. Officers located a white and red “Lucky Strike” cigarette box within arm’s reach of where the known subject was seated. Inside the box, Officers located three (3) plastic baggies containing a crystal-like substance consistent with methamphetamine. The HCDAO was contacted, and the charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance was accepted against the known subject.
💔 Joe’s still waiting for his owner… but no one ever came back.
It’s clear someone once loved Joe. He walks calmly on a leash. He leans in gently for affection. He looks at you like he’s searching for someone he lost.
But no one came. And now he’s behind kennel doors, growing more stressed by the day.
Outside the noise and chaos, Joe is soft, sweet, and full of love. He doesn’t ask for much, just a quiet place, a gentle hand, and someone who won’t give up on him this time.
🚨 Joe is now on the Urgent List. His time is running out. Please don’t let his story end like this. Be the one to show him that love can come back.

She tucks herself away in corners, trying to disappear—too scared to ask for love, but quietly hoping someone sees her.

On May 21, 2025, at approximately 12:45 AM, Deputies D. Webber and H. Tamez conducted a traffic stop in the 9600 block of Clearwood Dr on a vehicle for expired registration. Deputies made contact with the driver, who was identified as 40-year-old Jose Oscar Baldazo Beaz of Mexico. While speaking with the driver, Deputies observed multiple signs of intoxication and multiple open alcoholic beverage containers in plain view inside the vehicle. Deputies administered the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and determined the driver was unable to operate the motor vehicle safely. Beaz consented to a breath test which showed him being more than three times the legal limit.
A check of Beaz’s criminal history showed him to have been previously convicted in 2014 for Driving While Intoxicated. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted the charge of DWI 2nd. Beaz was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where he was booked in without incident.

For generations, our department has been fortified by a group of officers that respond to calls in the worst of situations. Held to an immense standard they continuously strive to exceed, our SWAT team trains tirelessly to always be ready when Pasadena is in need of them. Many of our dedicated members have spent their careers pouring themselves into the team, researching the latest tactics and techniques and enlisting specialists from all over the country to help them grow and evolve. Their efforts are a direct reflection of their commitment to the police department, as well as the citizens of Pasadena.
Working hand in hand with SWAT, members of our Crisis Negotiations Team are also of the utmost importance on critical scenes. Our goal is always to end a situation with everyone’s safety in mind, so their contributions are pivotal to high stress scenarios.
Thank you to the men and women who have devoted their careers to training harder and longer to be the safety and strength our citizens need in life-threatening situations.

On May 16, 2025, Harris County Precinct 2 Constables Jerry Garcia’s Special Operation Unit, along with the assistance of the US Marshals Office, executed an arrest warrant located along the 10600 block of Kirkdale. Along with a Felony Arrest Warrant for Evading on file for one of the residents, deputies were also conducting an investigation, alongside Center Point Energy, for electrical theft.
Upon executing this arrest warrant, investigators found that the electrical panel where the power entered the residence was tampered with, allowing the residence to obtain free electrical power. The tampering off the panel caused there to be exposed wires which were energized and a danger to anyone walking near the area.
During this investigation deputies and marshals were able to take 25 year old Randle Medlin for his felony warrant after a brief foot pursuit, and also charged him with Criminal Mischief for the tampering and stealing of the electrical services.
Suspect Medlin was later transported and booked into Harris County Jail without further incident. Investigators are also aware that this residence is a public nuisance, and are currently working to resolve this issue. Constable Garcia wants his residents to know that he hears your concerns, and will continue to address all issues that are reported to him. Please stay safe and God Bless.

Arrest Made for Fraudulent Temporary Tag
On May 20, 2025, deputies with the Harris County Constable Precinct 2 Office conducted a traffic stop after observing a vehicle displaying a fraudulent temporary tag. A records check through TCIC/NCIC revealed the tag was registered to a different vehicle.
The driver, identified as Rosa Alonso Monier, admitted to obtaining the fraudulent tag. She was arrested and charged with Tampering with a Government Record, a serious offense under Texas law.
Reminder: The use of fraudulent tags is illegal and will be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent. These actions undermine public safety and the integrity of our vehicle registration system.

Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at approximately 1746 hrs, deputies observed a male who was pan-handling at the intersection of 45 and College Avenue. The male was given a warning, and he proceeded to walk on the shoulder of Interstate 45. Deputies who were already on the scene attempted to detain the male, and he decided to cross all lanes of traffic, both north and southbound, causing motorists to come to a complete stop so that he would not be struck by a vehicle. The male was finally detained safely, and he was removed from the main lanes of 45. This information was presented to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, and no charges were accepted then. The male was taken to a mental facility so he could be evaluated for his actions.

On Friday, May 16, 2025, at approximately 7:36 PM, Deputy C. Crider of the Harris County Precinct 8 Constable’s Office responded to a report of a suspicious male in the 16400 block of El Camino Real. The caller reported that the individual was possibly armed and behaving erratically, causing alarm and concern for public safety.
Deputy Crider arrived and located a male matching the suspect’s description and attempted to make contact. Upon seeing the uniformed Deputy exit a fully marked patrol unit with emergency lights activated, the suspect fled on foot. The male ran across El Camino Real, through a nearby church parking lot, and into an adjacent apartment complex, ignoring repeated commands to stop. During the pursuit, Deputy Crider deployed his department-issued Taser, effectively subduing the male and bringing the chase to a successful conclusion. The suspect, identified as 23-year-old Eduardo Valdovinos of Houston, was taken into custody without further incident.
A records check revealed that Valdovinos showed an active warrant for his arrest out of Harris County for Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted the charge for Evading Arrest or Detention on Foot.

Hashbrown’s owners never came for him 😔.
Found wandering the streets, Hashbrown came to us wagging his tail and showing off his “sit” and “down” skills like a true gentleman.
Someone once taught him love… but no one ever came back for him. No chip. No claims. Just a sweet and smart boy who’s now on the Urgent List 🚨.
But time is quickly running out. Can you be Hashbrown’s second chance?

Meet today’s Foster Feature: Rem! 🐶
She has been a ✨ SUPERSTAR ✨ in her foster home. Check out what they said about her:
“I got Rem off of the urgent list with only a few hours to spare and I’m glad I did because she is truly a hidden gem. She’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves nothing more than cuddling up for quiet evenings on the couch. Our nightly routine has become her favorite—just the two of us, unwinding together.
She has a huge heart and forms deep, loyal bonds with the people she trusts. Rem walks good on a leash, is treat-motivated, and eager to please—she’ll sit right away for a snack. I have three other dogs of different sizes and she does well with them. While she may need a little time to warm up, especially with new canine friends, slow introductions go a long way—and once she feels safe, she’s playful and full of joy.
She’s also been gentle and respectful with my 4-year-old grandson, understanding boundaries. People constantly stop to admire her, and it’s easy to see why. She’s such a beautiful girl and she’s already started the meds for her heartworm treatment. I’m excited to see her forever family discover just how special she truly is.”

This sweet pup was hit by a car and rushed to a vet by a kind stranger who made sure she got immediate care.

National Police Week is underway from May 11th-17th. As we reflect on the many lives that have been sacrificed in service to communities across the country, we wanted to take a moment to remember Precinct 8 Constable John Monroe Weaver who was killed in the line of duty on June 19, 1929.
Constable Weaver was shot and killed after he and two other lawmen raided a dance hall on Yale Street that was being used as an illegal bootleg establishment. As they approached the building, approximately thirty people fled. The constables were only able to apprehend the owner’s daughter. As she led them to where her uncle was hiding, the constables were ambushed and Constable Weaver was shot twice, once in the elbow and once in the stomach. He was rushed to the hospital but died from his wounds a half hour later. The suspect escaped but was later found dead after he committed suicide.
Constable Weaver was the elected constable of Precinct 8 and had only held the post for five months. He was survived by his wife and son.
His name is engraved among those of the many law enforcement officers who are honored at the Harris County Peace Officers’ Memorial in Houston.

Carmelo is as unique as his eyes 🤩.
He’s a handsome, people-loving pup who’s had a tough time adjusting to the shelter. After a month in foster, we learned he has some separation anxiety and gets vocal when left alone, especially at night. However, he settles down when crated near other dogs.
He’s social, dog-friendly, and needs some leash training. But overall, he just needs a patient person to show him love.
🚨 But he’s currently very stressed and on the Urgent List. He needs a hero, could it be you?

On behalf of Constable Phil Sandlin:
We are aware that the Houston Police Department will
receive a 38% increase over the next five years. Our
dedicated Deputy Constables deserve comparable pay,
as they continue to serve our communities with
professionalism and commitment despite being
significantly undercompensated relative to their
regional counterparts.
We will be discussing this issue more publicly very
soon.
We believe this disparity requires immediate attention
and resolution.
Three Pasadena police officers achieved the rank of Sergeant.
Huge congratulations to one of our own! ConocoPhillips and the Houston Astros have teamed up to honor Turner Elementary’s third-grade math teacher, Chante Gordon, as one of Houston’s Math Teachers of the Month. Her influence in the classroom is truly hitting home runs in education!🙌

Did you know that spaying or neutering your pet can lead to a longer, healthier, and happier life? Benefits include:
– Reduced risk of certain cancers
– Elimination of unwanted litters
– Decreased behavioral issues like roaming and aggression
– Lower risk of uterine infections in females and prostate problems in males
At this time, we have multiple open appointments for spay and neuter services through the end of the month! These spots are sure to fill up, but don’t fret if you miss it! New appointments open every Sunday – Wednesday at 8AM. You can verify your address for service and register for appointments via our website!
We are grateful to Julie and the staff at our area HEB locations for providing lunch in recognition of National Police Week!

Every year, we are fortunate to send a team of officers from our Honor Guard to represent our department in Washington D.C. for the National Police Week ceremonies. Last night, our Honor Guard took part in a candlelight vigil, carried out in remembrance of fallen officers across the nation.
We would like to remind the community, that we will be holding a local ceremony in front of the police station tomorrow evening at 6pm in honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day. We encourage everyone to come out and join us as we remember those who lost their lives in the line of duty and celebrate the memories they left in their stead.

Adoption Forms 🥇 Cutest Ears Champion: Gidget!
This beauty strutted out of a store parking lot and straight into our hearts! Gidget had her little solo adventure, but now she’s dreaming of something better: a forever home filled with love.

Students from 3rd through 5th grade showcased their incredible math skills at the District Math Fact Fluency Bee after triumphing in their campus-level math bees. With 9 middle schools and 17 elementary schools participating, the competition was fierce and exciting!
The purpose of the Math Bee is to encourage students to practice and automatically know their math facts, fostering a strong foundation in mathematics. Teachers, parents, and administrators gathered to cheer on and celebrate with the students. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and a bit of nervousness as students gave it their all. Congratulations to all the amazing students for their hard work and dedication!🌟
Adoption Forms 💔 Maybe I’m meant to be in the shelter forever…
Hi, I’m Candace. I have so much love in my heart but the days are getting quieter, colder, and shorter here.
I have something called entropion, which makes my eyelids roll inward. It hurts sometimes, but I’m on medication and the kind people here are doing everything they can to help me feel better. I’ll need surgery soon… if I make it that far.
🚨 But they told me I’m on the Urgent List, and that means I don’t have much time left. Maybe you’re the one who can change my story. Maybe you’re my miracle. All I need is one chance. Please… don’t let my story end here.
With a Sad Heart,
Candace

Aurora loves to give hugs and kisses ❤️.
Despite being found as a stray, she remains happy, loving, and eager to find a good home where she can shine.
🚨 She would make a great addition to any home because of her calm and gentle demeanor. But she’s on the Urgent List and is quickly running out of time.
Could you be the one to save her?
