⚠️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.

This project exemplifies the power of teamwork and the endless possibilities when different programs come together. Here’s to the delicious treats of collaboration.

Dear Animal Lover Community,
My name is Eddie and I need a miracle…💔
I’ve been patiently waiting at the shelter, but I still haven’t found a home…
I’m a playful puppy that gets along with other dogs, but I’ve been stressed in my kennel, so sometimes I get overstimulated and need additional direction and training…
But I promise to love you and be the bestest friend you’ve ever had…
Can you help me find an adopter, foster, or rescue that can give me a second chance?
With a heavy heart,
Eddie

REPEAT OFFENDER ARRESTED IN PASADENA
On December 13, 2023, Precinct 8 Deputy Conway was dispatched to a hit and run call. Deputy Conway met with the victim who stated he was traveling in the 7600 block of the E Sam Houston Tollway when he was struck by another vehicle. The at-fault vehicle failed to stop and fled the scene. The victim followed the suspect and was able to obtain a license plate. Upon further investigation, the suspect was positively identified as 51 year old John Wylie Groover and a warrant for Fail to Stop and Give Information was issued for his arrest.
On January 11, 2024, Precinct 8 Deputy Morgan initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for fail to signal in the 11600 block of the Gulf Freeway. The driver was identified as John Wylie Groover. A check of his information revealed the open warrant for Fail to Stop and Give Information from December 2023. Deputy Morgan directed Groover to step out of the vehicle. Groover failed to comply and fled the scene. The vehicle accelerated to speeds over 100 MPH while running several stop signs and red lights. The pursuit continued for approximately 5 miles before the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a building in the 900 block of Pennsylvania St. A search of the vehicle yielded .4 grams of crack cocaine. Groover was transported to the hospital and additional warrants for Evading/Arrest Detention with Vehicle and Possession of a Controlled Substance were filed. Charges for Criminal Mischief were declined by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
On March 18, 2024, Groover was arrested by Pasadena Police Department for an unrelated case through their agency and the 3 open warrants. Groover’s bonds were set at $100 for Fail to Stop and Give Information, $20,000 for Evading and $5,000 for Possession of Controlled Substance.

Congratulations to Ms. Jasmine Hooker, Dobie High School’s Teacher of the Year! Ms. Hooker leads our culinary department in countless ways. In the last six years, she has grown our program from just three classes to now over 700 students! Her culinary students proudly represent the JFD Culinary Department by catering numerous events throughout the school year, including the Texas Invitational Tournament, PISD board meetings, district athletic banquets, the JFD Hall of Honor, teacher treats, and so much more! Under her leadership, students are recognized throughout the district for both their professionalism and culinary abilities.
Chief Wright extended a warm welcome to families, friends, and colleagues to celebrate the promotion of two sergeants. They are described as: hard workers, good communicators, and men of virtue.
Both have participated in several part-time (collateral) assignments in addition to successfully carrying out their routine daily duties. Collateral assignments offer numerous benefits to the police department and the community and provide a sense of accomplishment and service to the officers who choose to participate.
Chief Wright is confident they will continue to promote and protect a healthy work environment while staying positive and solution oriented.
We proudly embark on this new chapter alongside our newest lieutenants: Lt. Sorrell and Lt. Gonzalez. Congratulations to both for reaching this significant milestone in your careers.

Congratulations to 10th grade culinary arts student Edgar P. from CTHS Pasadena ISD who won his competition titled “Amuse Me” at the Texas ProStart Invitational in Waco, Texas. He was tasked with making a “fine dining one-bite appetizer” in just 30 minutes. His creation was a seared bay scallop and ginger carrot puree with a white wine garlic butter sauce. We are super proud of Edgar and his instructors that prepared him for this difficult challenge.
As we celebrate Women’s History Month and recognize women who have contributed to our history, culture, and society, we highlight our highest-ranking female officer, Lt. Bowman, for her dedication and leadership to the Pasadena Police Department.
Lt. Bowman began her career at the Pasadena Police Department in 2009 after moving to Texas from Pennsylvania. Throughout her tenure at Pasadena P.D., she has accomplished numerous things in many divisions and is beginning her new assignment to the Personnel and Training Division, where she will oversee the academy and range staff.
As she transitions to her new academy role, her primary focus will be recruiting, hiring, and training. With the knowledge and training she’s obtained from years of experience in law enforcement and graduating from the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce Impact Leadership Program, she will launch our latest employee retention endeavor, the Resiliency and Mentorship Program (R.A.M.P.). R.A.M.P. will strive to focus on resiliency and professional growth and will benefit nearly 400 police and civilian personnel who protect and serve our community.
Lt. Bowman will be attending our Open House this Saturday at the Police Academy and looks forward to seeing everyone there!
We can’t wait to show off all of our amazing Longhorn students and staff on Thursday!

Dobie High School‘s Cheyanne Bravo successfully showcased her Charolais Cross steer at the prestigious Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Placing 12th out of 66 contestants in her class, she earned an auction sale slot, ensuring a minimum guaranteed amount of $8500 with the potential for additional premium funds generated through the auction proceeds. Cheyanne obtained her steer through participation in the Houston calf scramble in 2023, where she not only received the hard luck award but also a certificate toward her animal. Her dedicated efforts in raising the animal over the past 9 months have yielded commendable results. Notably, this marks Dobie FFA’s inaugural participation in the HLSR steer auction, further underscoring the significance of this achievement!

On Friday, March 8, 2024, Precinct 8 Deputies with the assistance of Precinct 2 Special Operations Unit conducted a warrant service in the 15300 block of the Gulf Freeway. Through investigation, it was determined the wanted subject was residing at this location. Deputies made contact at the residence and detained a male and a female. The female was identified as 33 year old Liana Mae Golden and the male was identified as 27 year old Jonathan Ryan Williams. A check of Golden’s information confirmed she had an open warrant through Harris County Sheriff’s Office. As Golden was placed in custody, Deputies observed narcotics and drug paraphernalia in plain view. Deputies conducted a search and recovered 19.26 grams of methamphetamine, 1.54 grams of Xanax, 6.41 grams of Adderall, 128.5 grams of a white powdery substance, 2.74 grams of marijuana, 3.06 grams of Soma pills, 5.1 grams of pressed white powder, 5 checks, and 3 social security cards. Deputies later confirmed the social security cards and checks found did not belong to either subject.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted charges for Possession with Intent to Deliver on both subjects. They were transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where Williams’s bond was set at $1,000 and Golden’s bond was set at $15,000.

On Wednesday, March 6, 2024 at approximately 1:07 AM, Precinct 8 Deputy A. Self with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office was providing traffic control for a traffic hazard when a passing vehicle failed to maintain a single lane and nearly struck Deputy Gutierrez’s patrol vehicle. Deputy Self attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle. The vehicle failed to stop and continued driving recklessly while failing to maintain a single lane multiple times and nearly striking a concrete barrier and other vehicles. Responding units were able to successfully deploy spike strips near Wallisville Rd. The vehicle continued traveling northbound and became disabled at Beltway 8 and Hwy 90. The driver was apprehended and identified as 41 year old Eugenia Letitia Shepherd. While speaking with Shepherd, Deputy Self detected multiple signs of intoxication. Deputy Self administered the Standardized Field Sobriety Test and determined the driver was unable to operate a vehicle safely. Deputy Self proceeded to conduct a search of the vehicle and recovered a firearm. Shepherd was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where an intoxilyzer test was administered. The results revealed Shepherd’s alcohol concentration was over the legal limit. A further check of Shepherd’s information revealed a prior DWI conviction.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted charges for Evading Arrest/Detention with Vehicle, Driving While Intoxicated 2nd Offense, and Unlawful Carry of Weapon. Shepherd’s bonds were set at $10,200 total.
Electrical and welding students from CTHS Pasadena ISD have arrived in Kissimmee, Florida for the ABC National Craft Championships.

Hey, it’s Rick here checking in from my favorite lookout spot! 👋
You see, I’ve been waiting for my forever family for quite some time now. And being the longest stay here, I’ve learned a thing or two about patience and hope.
Every day, I peek out the window and door, hoping today will be the day my new family finds me!
So, if you’re out there, looking for a loyal and loving companion, look no further! I’ll be right here, waiting for you to walk through that door and into my heart. ❤️
With a Hopeful Heart,

Congratulations to the Pasadena High School Eagles Culinary Management Team for earning 3rd place at the 2024 Texas ProStart Invitational! We are beyond proud of these students and their instructors. Their original caption is too good not to share (see below)!
Pasadena High School’s Culinary Management Team has achieved an exceptional feat, securing 3rd place at the state competition, during the #prostart invitational. What makes this accomplishment truly remarkable is the team’s meticulous journey in building their own restaurant from scratch. From conceptualizing innovative menu ideas to deciding how and what the decor in the restaurant will look. They showcased not only culinary expertise but also business acumen. Presenting their vision to judges, the team demonstrated creativity, teamwork, and a passion for hospitality. This achievement not only recognizes their skills in the kitchen but also their ability to translate culinary concepts into a captivating restaurant venture. It’s a testament to the dedication and ingenuity of Pasadena High School’s Culinary Management Team and Table 24.

As the cadets advance into their 4th week at the police academy, they will persist in delving into the intricacies of the Penal Code under the guidance of Officer J. Garrett. This phase of the academy proves to be meticulous, requiring cadets to navigate through extensive pages of Texas law.
Although every academy instructor exhibits profound expertise and confidence, this segment calls for an instructor’s consistent patience and keen attention to detail. Officer J. Garrett, an Army Veteran with nearly a decade of service at the Pasadena Police Department, is the dedicated individual leading this phase.
Having previously served as a Field Training Officer, SRT member, and Honor Guard member during night shift patrol, Officer Garrett brings a wealth of experience to the academy. As an active SWAT member, he has been an integral part of the academy’s instructional team since 2021.
Officer Garrett’s commitment extends beyond the classroom; he not only imparts knowledge in various classes but actively participates in the cadets’ physical training and defensive tactics. We are grateful for Officer Garrett’s dedication as he mentors cadets across multiple facets throughout their police academy journey.
Do you have any new or gently used dog toys lying around? Or retriever rolls and bully sticks you can spare?
We’d be so grateful for your donations! 🐶
Your generosity means the world to us and helps make a big difference in the lives of our furry friends.
Donations can be dropped off at our shelter or sent in the mail using our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/IEY86SO0TRX0?ref_=wl_share

The #EndTheStreakTX campaign launched by the Deer Park Police Department aims to raise awareness of the high number of traffic fatalities in the state of Texas. The campaign highlights the fact that there hasn’t been a single day without a traffic fatality in Texas since November 7, 2000, urging drivers to be more cautious on the roads. By sharing statistics and promoting safe driving practices, the Deer Park Police Department hopes to reduce the number of traffic accidents and ultimately end the streak of daily fatalities on Texas roads. The campaign serves as a reminder for drivers to prioritize safety and be mindful of their actions while behind the wheel to prevent unnecessary tragedies.

It is the middle of competition season for most CTE programs. Here we have a behind the scenes glimpse of CTHS Pasadena ISD Construction students preparing for the Skills USA State Conference at the end of the month.
For upcoming holiday events, the La Porte Police Department (LPPD) will participate in the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) program thanks to a grant received from TxDOT.
The targeted waves of enforcement will include
• Spring Break (March 7– March 24, 2024),
• Independence Day (June 21 – July 7, 2024), and
• Labor Day (August 16 – September 2, 2024).
With this grant, additional LPPD officers will be deployed during each of these holiday periods on an overtime basis, to watch for impaired drivers on local roadways. Anyone operating a vehicle and found to be intoxicated will be arrested. Suspected intoxicated drivers who refuse to take a breath test will be the subject of a search warrant and have their blood drawn for blood alcohol level testing.
All of TXDOT’s S.T.E.P. (Selective Traffic Enforcement Program) campaigns are designed to reduce both motor vehicle accidents and the residual effects incurred by impaired motorists. The programs have consistently been proven to reduce injuries, fatalities, and property damage along major thoroughfares and at high collision/high-density intersections.
Residents are reminded to drive safely and while taking comfort in knowing additional traffic enforcement officers are monitoring local roadways. For more information on the La Porte Police Department’s involvement in the various state S.T.E.P. programs, please contact them at 281-842-3115 and follow them on Facebook at @LaPortePoliceDepartment.
Congratulations to Mr. Paez for graduating from the aspiring coaches academy!

On Saturday, March 2, 2024, Precinct 8 Deputy K. Peters with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office attempted to initiate a traffic stop in the 1060 block of Edgebrook Dr on a vehicle displaying an unreadable temporary permit. The vehicle failed to stop and accelerated to a high rate of speed. The vehicle entered an apartment complex in the 1200 block of Redford St and proceeded to drive in circles in the parking lot with no regard for the safety of others. The vehicle ultimately came to a stop and the driver continued to evade on foot. Deputy Peters gave chase and utilized his Taser to safely subdue the suspect. The suspect was identified as 47 year old Desmond Oneal Brown. A check of Brown’s information revealed an extensive criminal history. Deputies conducted a search of the vehicle incident to arrest and located 3.5 grams of marijuana and bags containing white powdery residue.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted felony Evading Arrest/Detention in Vehicle. Brown was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bond was set at $5,000.

On Friday, March 1, 2024, Precinct 8 Deputy Morgan with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office was on patrol when he heard an auto theft call go out on the Houston Police radio channel that occurred at Texas Auto Dealership at 16200 Hwy 3. Shortly after the call was dispatched, Deputy Morgan observed a Jeep SRT displaying a “Texas Auto” tag traveling at a high rate of speed in the 13800 block of the Gulf Freeway. Deputy Morgan attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle and a pursuit ensued. Responding units were able to successfully deploy spike strips near Monroe Rd. The vehicle continued traveling northbound and became disabled at the intersection of Berkley St and Kimble St where the driver continued to evade on foot. The suspect was apprehended and identified as 18 year old Adrian Enrique Alarcon.
Deputy Morgan contacted the owner of Texas Auto who was able to pull up video footage of Alarcon and several other subjects breaking into the dealership. Further investigation revealed six vehicles were stolen.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted several felony charges for Burglary of Building, Auto Theft and Evading Arrest/Detention with Vehicle. Alarcon was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bonds were set at a total of $50,000.

2024 Hall of Fame inductee spotlight: Donnie Brogna! 🏆🏈⚾🎽
Donnie Brogna was a standout athlete at South Houston High School, excelling in football, track, and baseball. Renowned for his versatility on the football field, he transitioned to quarterback in his senior year, leading the Trojans to their first postseason appearance in 1967. His exceptional performance earned him recognition as the Houston Chronicle’s “Back of the Week” for the second time that season. Beyond football, Brogna secured regional titles and district honors in track and baseball. Continuing his athletic journey at Rice University on a baseball scholarship, Brogna made significant contributions as a pitcher and outfielder. Even in retirement, he found success in golf, receiving multiple holes-in-one.

Carl Feazle’s high school career as a standout athlete began with a varsity spot on the Pasadena High School football team in 1938. Notably, he earned the nickname “The Pride of Pasadena” during his senior year, showcasing dynamic running skills and leading the team to newfound success. Feazle’s impact was undeniable, contributing significantly to his team’s points and earning recognition as a formidable defensive player. His 1940 season featured standout performances, including a six-touchdown game and a dominant showing in the district championship victory. Feazle received many prestigious accolades, including All-State and All-Southeast Texas honors. Beyond football, he demonstrated athletic versatility in track and leadership as president of his senior class. Following graduation, Feazle briefly played football for Texas A&M, served in the navy during World War II, and remained active in his community until his passing in 2006, leaving behind a legacy of athletic excellence and service.
2024 Hall of Fame inductee spotlight: Al Campo Sr! 🏆
🏈⚾🏀
Al Campo’s athletic journey started with success in basketball at Pasadena, followed by an outstanding senior year on the baseball diamond, earning all-district honors and boasting a remarkable .410 batting average. At the University of Houston, he excelled as a shortstop, achieving a notable .361 batting average his senior year. Transitioning to coaching, Campo led Sam Rayburn’s baseball teams to championships in 1977, 1984, and 1985, making it to the state tournament in the latter year. Despite falling short in the state title game, he was recognized as the All-Greater Houston coach of the year. Campo later served as the head football coach at South Houston High from 2001-2006, leaving a lasting legacy.

Doggie Date Recap! 🐶❤️
Our beautiful girl Sunni recently went on a Doggie Date. Check out what her lucky dater had to say:
“I don’t know how Sunni isn’t adopted yet! She is one of the sweetest and most evenly tempered dogs I’ve met! We spent most of Friday with Sunni and she didn’t bark once!
We took Sunni to the park where she played with my 2 girls and loved them both. While she was at first hesitant with my 3-year-old, she quickly warmed up to her and would go over for pets and hugs!
At the park, Sunni was friendly the entire time. She had other dogs, children, and adults walk past her and she mostly paid no attention or let them pet her. She was a little hesitant getting in my car at first, but she sat and laid down, and was a perfect car rider.
Sunni is a wonderful, sweet, and loving dog, and she’d be an amazing companion to anyone!”

Dear Animal Lover Community,
My name is Jewel. I’m so scared to be in the shelter that I’m having a hard time gaining weight…
The shelter staff has even changed my diet to high calories, but I’m still struggling…
All I want is a home to love and recover in…but space is limited at the shelter, so time is running out….
Can you help me find an adopter, foster, or rescue?
With a heavy heart,
Jewel

We want to celebrate two significant milestones involving Detective Cooper and Detective Phelan. Today is their 25th year as police officers with the Pasadena Police Department. Both were classmates in the 49th police academy and graduated in 1999.
After attending college, Detective Cooper joined the United States Coast Guard and served in multiple Enforcement Operations. Upon graduating from the police academy, he worked both day and night shift patrol, and in January 2006, he was assigned to the Burglary and Theft Unit. In 2017, Detective Cooper transferred to Violent Crimes and is currently attached to the ATF Crime Gun Strike Force as a Task Force Officer.
Detective Phelan actively served in the United States Marine Corps prior to attending the police academy. He also worked day and night shift patrol before being assigned to the Juvenile Investigations Division. After leaving this assignment, he served as a canine handler with two partners, Eiko and Rambo. Upon retiring his last K9, he was reassigned to the Family Violence Unit. Detective Phelan proudly served on the department’s Honor Guard team and currently serves on the Crisis Negotiation Team.
We thank both Detectives for their 25 years of service to the Pasadena Police Department and the City of Pasadena!
Congratulations to Mrs. Perez on her recognition as the Communities in Schools Site Coordinator in Texas for the month of February. We are very proud of Mrs. Perez and appreciate her service to our school and our community. Pasadena Independent School District #TigerPride #proudprincipal

On February 29, 2024 at around 2:30 PM CST, our agency was notified that Noah Johnson had been located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and was being evaluated by medical personnel in that city. His mother, Kamilah Johnson, was taken into custody by the Minneapolis Police Department on an active arrest warrant filed by this agency for a felony charge of Child Endangerment, which was filed in the 185th District Court here in Harris County.
On February 8, 2024, an Amber Alert was issued in the Houston area, which was later expanded to a statewide alert, in an attempt to locate Noah. Amber Alerts were later issued in the states of Missouri and Minnesota over the course of the last three weeks as new information on Noah’s possible whereabouts was obtained.
At this time, we can report that Noah is safe and is getting the medical attention he desperately needs. It is unknown at this time if or when he will be brought back to Houston. In addition, Kamilah Johnson is currently in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department awaiting the extradition process back to Harris County.
We would like to thank the many local, state and federal partners who assisted over the last 3 weeks in locating Noah. These partners include:
• Houston, Kansas City and Minneapolis field offices of the FBI
• Kansas City, Missouri Violent Crimes Task Force
• Minneapolis, Minnesota Police Department
• Texas Department of Family Services
• Minnesota Department of Family Services
• Texas Center for the Missing
• Texas DPS Fusion Center
• Texas Rangers
Our goal from the beginning was to make sure Noah received the medical attention he needs and we are thankful he was located today so that this may finally happen.

On Monday, February 26, 2024 at approximately 7:57 PM, Precinct 8 Sergeant Williams with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office was working in an off-duty capacity in the Bay Forest subdivision when he observed a suspicious vehicle in the neighborhood. The vehicle matched the description of the suspect vehicle involved in recent mail thefts in the area. Deputy Glover was dispatched to assist Sergeant Williams and initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle for multiple traffic infractions. Upon contact with the vehicle, Deputy Glover detected the odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. The driver was identified as 56 year old Kevin Foster Quesenberry and the passenger was identified as Laura Ginez. During the course of the investigation, it was revealed the female passenger provided a false name and was identified as 32 year old Taylor Raquel Svede. Svede was further identified as the mail theft suspect captured on video surveillance. A check of Svede’s information revealed an open felony warrant for Possession of Controlled Substance through Harris County Sheriff’s Office and a warrant through Galveston County Sheriff’s Office. Quesenberry was found to be in possession of a key used to manipulate mailbox locks.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted Possession of Criminal Instrument on Quesenberry with a bond set at $100. Svede was charged with Fail to ID to a Peace Officer with a bond set at $250. Houston Police Department is looking into whether these suspects are responsible for other open mail theft cases.

This morning, Pasadena Diamond Level members participated in the very first Pasadena Chamber of Commerce Leader Insights Breakfast. Pasadena Police Chief J. Wright was very grateful to have been chosen as the guest of honor and speak at the breakfast. The Leader Insight Breakfast served as a valuable platform for business members and influential leaders to foster connections and engage in discussions related to local insights and initiatives.
Chief J. Wright emphasized his appreciation for the ones that served before us fighting crime and providing incredible service to the public. As we honor our traditions, we continue to evolve and grow while prioritizing safety, service, and the resilience of our great staff here at the Department.
These core values are supported by major projects that are currently unfolding in the Department. The newly created Digital Intelligence Unit supports technological advancement and consists of a Real Time Crime Center with enhanced crime analysis capabilities. Pasadena Police Department’s Community Improvement Coalition addresses complex issues to implement long-term problem-solving solutions for each unique circumstance. As we prioritize safety and service to the community, internal focus is also crucial. Chief J. Wright actively seeks to enhance the well-being of PD employees through a new Resiliency And Mentoring Program (RAMP), incorporating overall wellness that supports mental, physical, and financial health, as well as mentorship and career development for every Pasadena Police Department employee.
Today these girls competed their hearts.

On Wednesday, February 14, 2023 at approximately 4:03 PM, Precinct 8 Deputy Langley with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office responded to the 5700 block of Underwood in reference to a road rage incident. Deputy Langley arrived and met with the victim who stated he was traveling southbound on Red Bluff Rd at Genoa Red Bluff Rd when a driver pulled up next to him and displayed an offensive hand gesture. The suspect continued to follow the victim and both stopped at a red light at the intersection of Red Bluff Rd and Underwood Rd. While stopped at the light, the suspect exited his vehicle and reached inside the victim’s passenger window displaying a knife. The suspect proceeded to damage the exterior of the victim’s vehicle with the knife before driving off and pulling into a jobsite in the 5700 block of Underwood Rd. Deputy Langley located the suspect and identified him as 41 year old Juan Carlos Flores.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted charges for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Flores was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bond was set at $15,000.

Fourth Ward is Houston’s Historic Freedmen’s Town and prior to being a library, the Gregory School was an elementary school opened by the Freedmen’s Bureau. Students enjoyed a great day of immersing themselves in the rich Black history of Houston.
