Video: PPD is looking to solve an armed robbery case from June 1st at Vista Washateria. Your tips could make a difference.

🚨Public Assistance Needed🚨

Case Reopened

Being a victim of a crime—especially a violent one—can be extremely traumatic. Fear for one’s safety often prevents victims from reporting the crime at all, or they may start the process and then stop, feeling overwhelmed by the experience.

However, in this case, the victim has found the courage to pursue the case, and we need your help again to identify these suspects!

Details:
On June 1, 2023, at approximately 5:20 p.m., three unknown males and one unknown female committed an armed robbery at the Vista Washateria, located at 301 Vista Rd. The suspects took the cash register till.

In the video surveillance, you will see-

A male wearing a white t-shirt, black shorts, and red shoes is seen on video pushing the victim in the business office and removing money from the register.

A second male, dressed in a gray zipped-up sweater, black pants, and black shoes, pointed a gun at the victim and recklessly at his partners.

A third male entered, wearing a camo long-sleeve shirt and khaki pants, rummaged through drawers, and took a secondary cash till.

The female is seen in athletic wear, exits the business shortly after the suspect with a gun ambushes the victim with the firearm.

If you have any information about these suspects, please contact Violent Crimes Detective J. Benitez at (713) 475-4887 or [email protected]

The Pasadena Police Academy welcoming eager cadets with a drill sergeant’s intensity, igniting their journey toward becoming dedicated police officers.

Today marks the first day of training for the Pasadena Police Academy’s 89th and 90th Cadet Classes.
These photos capture the “warm welcome” the cadets received from Instructors Gonzalez and Peña, an introduction more like a drill sergeant’s greeting than a casual hello. From the very first day, the emphasis is on punctuality, discipline, and attention to detail, setting the foundation for everything that lies ahead.

As both classes begin their journeys, we also invite you to stay tuned in the coming weeks for the conclusion of Cadet Watch: Episode 4, where Class 88 makes the transition from cadets to probationary patrol officers.

We wish the cadets a successful and rewarding year of training as they take their first steps toward becoming Pasadena Police Officers.

The dedication at PPD and two unsung heroes at the department are redefining excellence through relentless training in criminal justice.

Training at the Pasadena Police Department doesn’t stop with just our officers. Our agency couldn’t function without the incredible work of our civilian personnel. That’s why the department fully supports sending any officer or civilian to ongoing training opportunities throughout the year.
What is truly commendable, are those who take the initiative to seek out classes and push their training even further. Most recently, our own Records team members, B. Licona and J. Bonilla did just that.
This week, they completed a two-day conference focused on professional development and continuing education in the criminal justice system. The training covered a wide range of important topics, including:
• CJIS Technical Audits & Assessments
• National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)
• Criminal History Reporting (CHR)
• Terrorist Offender Registry (TOR)
• Sex Offender Registry (SOR)
• Texas Crime Information Center (TCIC)
• TXGang
• Civil Criminal Records: Employment, Licensing, Volunteering
• Biometric Services
We’re especially grateful that they’ve chosen to attend this training for three consecutive years, learning every update and enhancement in these systems. That kind of dedication and consistency speaks volumes about their commitment to their profession and our officers. They’re truly the go-to experts when it comes to these critical topics.

PISD PD: School zones requires your full attention, so ditch distractions, watch for kids, and follow the rules to keep everyone safe.

Tips for driving in school zones

*Be aware that traffic patterns around school zones may have changed since the last school year.
*Stay alert and put your phone away. Using a handheld electronic device while driving in an active school zone is against the law.
*Stop and yield to people in crosswalks.
*Drop off and pick up your children in your school’s designated areas, not the middle of the street.
*Keep an eye on children gathered at bus stops.
*Watch for children who might dart across the street or between vehicles.

LPPD’s Police Briefs: A wild weekend of loaded guns to drug possession.

****POLICE BRIEFS****
(all subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty)

• On Friday, August 1st, at approximately 4:48PM, an officer initiated a traffic stop in the 2300 block of Underwood for an observed traffic violation. Upon contacting the driver, the officer detected an odor of marijuana. The driver told the officer he had a firearm in the car and that he had placed it in the passenger side floorboard before the stop. The officer asked the driver if there was marijuana inside the vehicle, to which the driver replied “yes.” A probable cause search of the vehicle revealed a loaded handgun in the passenger side floorboard and a clear plastic baggie containing a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana. The officer also located a burnt cigarette containing marijuana in the center console cup holder. The HCDAO was contacted, and charges of Possession of Marijuana and Unlawfully Carrying a Weapon were accepted.
• On Sunday, August 3rd, at approximately 2:13AM, an officer initiated a traffic stop in the 11500 block of SH 225 for an observed traffic violation.

The driver was taken into custody for the outstanding Felony warrant.
• On Sunday, August 3rd, at approximately 7:30AM, a female in the La Porte jail had prescription pill bottles in her possession with no identifying information on the bottles. The pills inside the bottles were found to be prescription medication, but the female could not produce any information that the pills were prescribed to her.

• On Sunday, August 3rd, at approximately 10:58AM, officers were dispatched to the 600 block of Fountain in reference to a disturbance in progress. Officers arrived and met a male subject outside the residence who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. The subject stated that he was attempting to gain entry to the residence to see his children. The subject was detained, and officers contacted the reporting party. It was determined that the detained subject was not allowed at the residence because of an ongoing CPS investigation and because the subject had been making threats against the reporting party’s life. The suspect sent multiple text messages showing himself at a store that sells firearms and stating that he was going to purchase a gun and kill the reporting party. After further investigation, officers contacted the HCDAO, and the charge of Class A Terroristic Threats was accepted.

Officers arrived and saw a blue Chevy truck reversing out of the driveway to the residence. The vehicle continued backing into the roadway despite officers using emergency sirens in an attempt to get the driver’s attention. The driver did eventually stop, and he exited his vehicle. Officers saw the driver stumble as he walked towards them. The driver was identified, and officers observed an open alcoholic beverage in the center console. Officers contacted the reporting party, who told officers she invited the driver to the house but asked him to leave when he started “acting weird” and asked for cocaine. The subject did leave the residence but continued to knock on her door and windows. The driver consented to Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and was subsequently taken into custody for suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated. The HCDAO was contacted, and the charge was accepted.
• The La Porte Animal Shelter will be at minimum staff and operating under modified hours Friday, August 8th, through Sunday, August 10th, as we participate in the MEGA adoption event at NRG.

The transformative journey of La Porte Police Academy graduates, community bonds strengthen and dedicated citizens step up to serve.

LPPD celebrates another CPA graduation

On July 29th, 2025, the La Porte Police Department was pleased to announce the graduation of another Citizens Police Academy (CPA).

Members of the class included: Malinda Bostik, Amanda DeAlejandro, Jerardo Jimenez, Veronica Martin, Ana Mendez, Dausha Moore-Wright, Edward Parker, Jerri Parker, Alex Sova, Maribel Valdez, Rylan Watkins, and Megan Weaver. Each of the graduates was presented with an official diploma recognizing their dedication and accomplishments.

CPA participants attended Tuesday-night classes at the La Porte Police Department for 12 consecutive weeks. As with previous CPA classes, the most recent participants were exposed to a large group of well-qualified instructors. Courses were all taught by City of La Porte employees, both certified police officers and civilian employees serving in specialized positions. To supplement the classroom instruction, hands-on training was offered to participants covering multiple areas of police operations.

The ultimate mission and primary focus of the CPA is to bring the Police Department and the community closer together by educating one another.

Participation in the CPA is free and all materials are provided by the Police Department. Applicants must be at least eighteen years of age with a clear criminal history. This means that applicants can have no convictions for felony offenses, cannot be on probation for any reason, and must not have any outstanding warrants. An application is also required to be completed and a background check will be conducted prior to the first night of class. The department asks that all applicants live or work in the City of La Porte, although occasional exception(s) may be made. Following graduation, CPA members find an abundance of rewarding volunteer opportunities within their police department.

For questions concerning La Porte’s Citizens Police Academy, please contact Officer Ricky Valdez at 281-842-3152 or log onto the department’s website at https://www.laportetx.gov/488/Citizens-Police-Academy

Pasadena PD’s new solar trailers are on patrol, keeping our streets safer every day.

Have you ever wondered what those parking lot cameras are for? 🤔

Why do we place them in certain areas? Do they actually help with investigations?

Last week, the Pasadena Police Department received two new solar-powered surveillance trailers. These units are operated by our Digital Intelligence Unit (DIU) and serve a mobile role in our Real-Time Crime network. Once members of the DIU complete the setup of these new trailers, they will be strategically deployed in high-traffic areas throughout the city to provide real-time intelligence to patrol officers responding to calls for service.

Similar surveillance trailers that are currently in use have proven instrumental in numerous investigations, including burglaries of motor vehicles, shoplifting incidents, aggravated robberies, and, most notably, a recent homicide at Bubba’s 33. In that case, one of our trailers captured critical footage of the suspect arriving and fleeing the scene, directly aiding detectives in the swift identification and apprehension of the offender.

So, the next time you see one of these in a parking lot or shopping area, know that PPD is working hard to maintain your safety and security!

PPD mourns Chaplain Emeritus Roland Hill, he dedicated his life to serving others with compassion, leaving a legacy of kindness that will resonate for generations.

We’re saddened to share the passing of Chaplain Emeritus Roland Hill—a kind-hearted servant and trusted mentor whose impact will be felt for years to come.

Chaplain Hill graduated from Baylor University in 1957 and earned his Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1962. He was ordained by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1960 and went on to serve as Associate Pastor at First Baptist Church Pasadena, a role he held for 31 years.

In 1975, he took on another calling—serving as a police chaplain. For 35 years, until his retirement in 2010, he stood alongside our officers and their families. He offered them guidance, comfort, and spiritual care during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Above all else, Chaplain Hill had a genuine love for people. He never thought twice about sitting with someone in pain, listening with compassion, or simply being there when there was nothing to say. He saw it as an honor to walk with others through grief, loss, and uncertainty, always showing up with quiet strength, compassion, and prayer.

His ministry spanned over five decades and was marked by humility, wisdom, and a steady devotion to others. Chaplain Hill didn’t seek attention—he simply showed up, over and over again, with a servant’s heart.

We’re grateful for his many years of service, and we’ll carry his example with us. He made a difference in so many lives, and people like him aren’t easily forgotten—his kindness and steady presence will stick with us.

Precinct 8 Deputy Bullock tackled a peculiar case of a New Jersey 🤡 using a fake Texas ID to swipe a credit card.

On July 25, 2025, Deputy A. Bullock was dispatched to a suspicious person located at the 19400 Gulf Freeway. Deputy Bullock made contact with the Reportee who stated that a male was attempting to open a credit card with a potentially fraudulent Texas Driver’s License. The Reportee stated that the Texas Driver’s License was observed to have discrepancies. The Reportee further stated that upon entering the information into the store database, it was flagged as fraudulent by the company’s fake ID detection system.

Deputy Bullock made contact with the suspicious person, who would later be identified as 29 year-old Olabode Emmanuel Olaseinde, of New Jersey. Through Deputy Bullock’s investigation it revealed the fraudulent Texas Driver’s License did belong to a real person with the same Driver’s License name and number. The victim was contacted and confirmed that he did not know or give permission to Olaseinde to use his personal identifying information and wanted to pursue charges.

The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted, and the felony charge of Fraudulent Use of Identifying information was accepted. Olaseinde was transported to JPC where he was booked in without incident. A criminal background check of Olaseinde revealed he has been arrested several times in various states for Fraud related charges.

Precinct 2’s disturbance call led to a foot chase and felony arrests for a 🤡 in East Baton Rouge Parish but Jadeis is still hiding.

UPDATE: Disturbance Call Leads to Felony Arrest and Active Warrant

On July 15, we posted about a disturbance call where deputies with Harris County Constable Precinct 2 responded to what was initially believed to be an active weapons disturbance. Upon arrival, deputies determined the incident involved a verbal altercation between two customers and a store clerk—not a weapons disturbance.

While still on scene, the suspects returned. As deputies attempted to investigate, both individuals fled on foot, leading to a short pursuit. The suspects entered a vehicle and continued fleeing the area. Deputies obtained the vehicle’s license plate and quickly began follow-up investigations.

Through these efforts, one suspect was identified as Jadeis Gray. Later that same day, the male suspect was identified as Tyrese Terrell White, who was found to have an open felony warrant out of Plaquemine, Louisiana.

Deputies contacted the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, which accepted charges of:

Felony Evading in a Motor Vehicle for Tyrese White

Misdemeanor Evading on Foot for Jadeis Gray

Warrants were filed for both individuals.

This morning, our office was informed that the suspect vehicle was spotted in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana last night. Deputies there attempted to stop the vehicle, but White once again fled. He was ultimately taken into custody by East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s deputies and now faces new charges of Home Invasion and Resisting Arrest, in addition to the active warrants.

We want to thank the deputies with East Baton Rouge Parish for their outstanding work and coordination in helping us capture White. Your partnership is greatly appreciated!

Jadeis Gray is still wanted and remains at large. If you have any information on her whereabouts, please contact our dispatch at 713-477-4070.

Thank you to all who support us in keeping our communities safe. 💙

After nearly two years in a tent, a resilient woman finally received the compassionate help from Precinct 2 she needed to seek a safer future ahead.

HOMELESS FEMALE RECEIVES THE HELP SHE NEEDS

Precinct 2 Constable Jerry Garcia’s Office received information about an adult displaced female living alongside the feeder road near the 13000 block of East Freeway. Councilman Fred Flickinger’s Office reached out and asked our office to look into the matter. Pct. 2 patrol deputies arrived at the location and immediately began to assess the living conditions.

The female lived inside a makeshift tent for nearly two years, and despite the recent warm weather, last year’s freezing conditions, she never left this location. Deputies gained the trust of this lively woman, who showed physical signs in need of medical attention. Deputies acted quickly and notified Houston EMS. Deputies also determined signs of mental health concerns were present and assured her that deputies would remain by her side to see that she received the help she needed. She was transported to a nearby hospital. An emergency detention order for mental health was completed and submitted at the hospital.

Our office will do our very best to follow developments of this matter in hopes that the situation does not repeat itself. Thank you, everyone. Please be safe, and God bless!

PPD’s camp memories were filled with laughter, learning, and adventures curated by amazing community partners.

Summer is winding down and as the first day of school quickly approaches, we can’t help but reflect on the fun memories we’ve had. We are endlessly fortunate to host our camp every June, giving children from our community the opportunity to connect with our officers in a fun and carefree environment. Our campers receive important lessons from various first responders, learning about fire safety and medical response, as well as seeing presentations from several police auxiliary units.

Pasadena ISD is always a huge supporter, this year allowing us to use Mae Smythe Elementary School as the home base for our activities. From there, we ventured out into the community to bowl, roller skate, bounce and explore at several wonderful venues in the area.

None of this would be possible without all of our generous and supportive sponsors. We truly could not manage such a big and important project without your continued backing.

This year, over 80 officers transformed into a united team during Pasadena’s inaugural Special Response Group training week, mastering skills together.

Earlier this year, the Pasadena Police Department was proud to host our first Special Response Group basic training school. The week-long course, which was attended by over 80 officers from 13 agencies, was both physically and mentally taxing. Officers were challenged to think critically in large, group event scenarios, while learning to work alongside assets like mounted patrol. Participants learned about new equipment, moving in formation and a type of situational awareness that is quite different than what is typically experienced on patrol. The name of the game was teamwork and, while they may have started the week as 13 different agencies, they ended it as one united front.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the countless instructors from various agencies who helped make this school a success. The participants are not the only ones who walked away from this school with newfound skills and knowledge.

After months of sweat and determination, PPD’s Cadet Class 88 is ready to embrace their future in law enforcement during last weeks graduation ceremony.

It’s been a long and grueling journey, filled with sweat, growth and tenacity and today, it finally comes to an end. Cadet class 88 will walk across the stage this evening and take the next steps along their journey to a career in law enforcement.

Anxiously anticipating this day for months now, these last few hours are filled with a whirlwind of emotions; joy, relief, excitement, trepidation and even a healthy dose of fear. They have come so far, and yet, they still have so much further to go. In the coming months, we will watch class 88 transition from cadets to probationary officers, who still have a great deal of challenges and training to endure. At the end of it all, they will have earned their spot in an agency that will support them through a long and successful career.

We hope everyone has been following along with our series “Cadet Watch” which has given the community the unique opportunity to know and support this academy class. If you need to catch up on their journey, check by our Facebook page, where we have the first three episodes already posted.

Earlier this week, Bubba’s 33 hosted a heartfelt brunch for our officers, medics, and first responders—with a special thank you for those who responded to the recent incident at their location. In the days following such a difficult and emotional event, they’re still processing and trying to make sense of what happened but they’re also showing up and standing strong. They chose to show appreciation in the way they know best: with warm food, open arms, and continued camaraderie.

And boy, did they go all out! From biscuits and gravy to French toast, bacon, eggs, juice, and coffee—everything was made with care and it showed. The food was incredible (yes, a few of us went back for seconds), but more than that, the atmosphere was filled with gratitude, support, and solidarity.

Bubba’s 33 has always stood behind our department, consistently recognizing officers of the week, handing out dinner-for-two gift cards and often, just checking in to see how they can help. This brunch carried a more somber but more powerful tone, feeling especially meaningful. They reminded us that we’re not alone, and we want them to know, neither are they.

• On Friday, July 4th, at approximately 1:47AM, an Officer and his Field Training Officer (FTO) conducted a traffic stop in the 100 block of N 12th Street for a traffic violation. Upon contact, they detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from the driver, who was the vehicle’s sole occupant. The driver admitted to consuming five alcoholic drinks but couldn’t recall the name of the bar. He showed signs of intoxication and consented to Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. Based on his performance, he was taken into custody for suspected Driving While Intoxicated. A review of his criminal history revealed two prior DWI convictions. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted a felony charge of DWI – 3rd Offense.

• On Friday, July 4th, at approximately 2:02AM, an Officer initiated a traffic stop in the 8900 block of W Fairmont for an observed traffic violation. The Officer contacted the driver and sole occupant and after explaining the reason for the traffic stop, the Officer detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The Officer asked the driver if there was any marijuana inside the vehicle, and she replied “yes.” The driver then produced a clear plastic baggie containing a small amount of a green leafy substance consistent with marijuana. The driver was placed into custody for possession of drug paraphernalia.

• On Saturday, July 5th, at approximately 4:26 AM, Officers were dispatched to 3000 Luella Area, for a possible disturbance.

• On Saturday, July 5th, at around 9:22PM, an Officer and his FTO conducted a traffic stop in the 3100 block of S Broadway for a traffic violation. Using scene lights, they observed the driver making furtive movements toward the floor and trying to hide himself. Officers ordered him out of the vehicle and detained him. The Officer recognized the driver from past incidents involving firearms and narcotics. The driver admitted he was on probation for a weapons charge and gave consent to search the vehicle. The passenger then informed Officers that the driver had a gun and possibly drugs inside. The driver confirmed a loaded .22-caliber firearm was in the cup holder, which Officers recovered.

• On Sunday, July 6th, at approximately 1:30AM, an Officer conducted a traffic stop in the 10000 block of SH 225 for a vehicle traveling 103 MPH in a posted 65 MPH zone. The driver of the vehicle was involved in a single-vehicle accident prior to the traffic stop. All three occupants were out of the vehicle when the Officer arrived. Two passengers both confirmed the driver of the vehicle. The Officer spoke to the driver and immediately detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath. He was immediately placed into custody for suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated. At the jail, the driver consented to Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. The HCDAO was contacted and the charge of Driving While Intoxicated was accepted.

• On Tuesday, July 8th, at approximately 8:49 AM, Officers were dispatched to 10806 N P for a trespassing call. They found a white female matching the suspect description near the front door, where a “No Trespassing” sign was posted. The homeowner declined to press charges but requested she be removed from the property. The female stated she was out on bond for Possession of a Controlled Substance and admitted to “hiding out” while walking to her sister’s house. Officers located a clear baggie with a straw and a crystal-like substance nearby. Based on its proximity and other circumstances, she was taken into custody. A search revealed a glass pipe containing a similar substance. She identified it as “a pipe.” The HCDAO accepted a felony charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance.

• On Wednesday, July 9th, at approximately 9:21 PM, Officers observed two vehicles stopped in a moving lane of traffic on W Main, about 50 feet east of Bay Area Boulevard.

In a remarkable display of teamwork, Constable Deputies and Detectives swiftly captured Gregory Dominguez a sexual predator.

CONSTABLE DEPUTIES AND DETECTIVES’ INVESTIGATION LEADS TO AN ARREST OF A SEXUAL PREDATOR
In June deputies with Constable Jerry Garcia’s Patrol Division were dispatched to a report of a possible sexual assault. Over the next month deputies with both Patrol and the newly formed Detective Positions began to investigate. During this investigation deputies and detectives were able to gather enough evidence for felony charges of Indecency with a Child to be accepted. A warrant was filed and once in hand turned over to Constable Garcia’s Special Operations Unit.
On Thursday July 10, 2025 the Special Operations Unit was able to locate 52 year old Gregory Dominguez and take him into custody without incident for his Felony Indecency with a Child Warrant.
Overall, this case is a testament to the deputies Precinct 2 Constables Office has. From the initial report and start of this investigation by Patrol, the follow ups completed by our Detectives, and the successful Warrant Service by our Special Operations Unit this case shows what a collaborative operation can result in. Please stay safe and God Bless.

PPD celebrating Officer Brian Kelldorf Sr.’s retirement after decades of service, dedication, and unforgettable adventures in policing and teaching.

Please join us in congratulating Officer Brian Kelldorf Sr. on his retirement!

Brian Kelldorf Sr. was born in September 1965, in Memphis, TN, and later moved to Houston, TX in 1968. He graduated from North Shore High School in 1985 and eventually found himself in Pasadena, TX, where he joined the Pasadena Police Academy’s 46th class on March 4, 1996.

Officer Kelldorf worked his first 4 years on Night Shift Patrol before moving to Day Shift Patrol in 2000. He became CIT (Crisis Intervention Training) certified and went on to teach CIT at the Houston Police Academy, working alongside Director Moira Delgado from MHMR (Harris County Mental Health and Mental Retardation).

After a brief stay at the Academy, he transferred to the Computer Division, where he spent the next few years doing computer and radio support. Just before the new police station opened, he transferred back to patrol and then moved to the Property Room, where he helped with the transition to the new facility. Officer Kelldorf ultimately finished his career working Day Shift Patrol.

Officer Kelldorf is a recipient of The 100 Club Award for saving a drowning child. He has also been named Officer of the Week by Houston radio station 93Q and Officer of the Month by the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. He has received a Meritorious Service Ribbon, Dayshift Unit Citation, and Community Impact Award from various department Chiefs.

Despite his love for this career, Brian has been planning and looking forward to retirement, preparing to celebrate life with family and friends. Brian and his wife have plans to relax on cruises and travel to see various parts of the world.

Meet Pasadena’s new Chief of Police, M.P. Jackson, a dedicated leader whose impressive career spans over four decades in law enforcement.

In recognition of his new appointment, we wanted to help the public become better acquainted with Pasadena Police Department’s new Chief of Police, M.P. Jackson.

Chief Jackson began his law enforcement career in 1977 after completing the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) Police Academy in Baytown, Texas. He served with the University of Houston–Clear Lake Police Department for two years before applying and being accepted to the Pasadena Police Academy in 1979. Over a distinguished career spanning more than four decades, he rose through the ranks, serving in the role of Assistant Chief of Police for nearly 12 years. During that time, he held the position of Interim Chief of Police for 15 months.

Chief Jackson received an Associate’s degree in Law Enforcement and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from San Jacinto College and the University of Houston-Downtown, respectively. In time, he returned to the University of Houston and completed the Certified Public Manager Program. In addition to traditional academia, Chief Jackson is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy (Session 227), the Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas/Leadership and Command College, and received the FBI-LEEDA Trilogy Award.

During his tenure, Chief Jackson helped secure over $850,000 in funding to strengthen department operations. This included federal stimulus funding for a Mobile Crime Scene/Command Post vehicle and technology upgrades, forfeiture assets from the Harris County District Attorney’s office for a firearms range baffling system, and HGAC funding for a SWAT armored “BearCat” vehicle. He also worked with state partners to obtain a facility for commercial vehicle enforcement. Overall, these efforts enhanced officer safety, investigative capabilities, and departmental readiness.

Chief Jackson’s leadership has been recognized with numerous honors, including the “Excellence in Leadership Award” (Pasadena Industrial Community Network), the “Community Builder Award” (Archives Lodge #1399), and multiple Chief’s Citations for high-profile investigative successes, including the resolution of nine homicide cases in 2023.

Chief Jackson’s influence extends far beyond our department. He has served on over a dozen boards and advisory councils, including the FBI Regional Computer Forensics Lab, the San Jacinto College Criminal Justice Advisory Board, and the Harris County Children’s Assessment Center. His leadership roles in education, civic service, and emergency response have had a significant impact on the community, underscoring his continued influence and dedication to public safety.

These examples represent just a few of the many contributions Chief Jackson has made over the years. Chief Jackson remains an active member of law enforcement associations at the local, state, and national levels, reflecting a lifetime of service, leadership, and dedication to public safety.

PPD think twice and regret none. This Fourth of July celebrate with laughter and love.

This Fourth of July, we hope you and your loved ones create joyful memories, while keeping safety front and center:
Think twice before firing a gun into the air. Every bullet must come down somewhere, and celebratory gunfire can cause serious injury, property damage, or even loss of life.
Unauthorized fireworks can spark wildfires or structure fires, cause burns, and injure bystanders.
Discharging a firearm within Pasadena city limits is a Class A misdemeanor: up to 1 year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
Possession or use of fireworks violates municipal code and can carry fines up to $2,000 plus forfeiture of the fireworks.
Enjoy the holiday responsibly and let’s make this Independence Day both safe and unforgettable for our entire community!

PPD is in contact Thaddeus Lewis who vanished from softball practices. They are now in search of parents who have been scammed by him.

**UPDATE**
We greatly appreciate the fervent response from the community and just wish to clarify about the information we are seeking in this post. We are in contact with Lewis and are not looking for help in locating him at this time. Currently, we are asking for any other persons who have fallen victim to a similar incident with Lewis, either this year or in past years, to please reach out and let Det. Satterwhite know the details of your experience.

We are seeking the public’s assistance in an ongoing investigation regarding a Facebook page setup for an 18U softball team. The coach, identified as Thaddeus Lewis, accepted fees for a softball team that he told parents would cover uniforms, practices and multiple tournaments. Following a few practices, Lewis failed to show up at or pay for any practices and tournaments. Lewis’s phone was ultimately disconnected, and the team’s Group Me was deleted, thus eliminating any communication with parents.

Based on information we have, we believe that Lewis has done the same thing in past years.

If you or someone you know has had a similar incident with Thaddeus Lewis, we encourage you to reach out to Detective Satterwhite and provide the details of your encounter.

See the attached photos of Lewis and the team logo.

As fireworks light up the sky on the Fourth of July, here’s some rules in Harris County for a safe celebration.

🎆🇺🇸 Fourth of July Fireworks: Know the Rules for Harris County, TX! 🇺🇸🎆

✅ DO buy fireworks legally — retail sales are allowed from June 24 through midnight July 4 in unincorporated Harris County.

✅ DO check your location — fireworks are illegal inside Houston and most nearby cities; only allowed in unincorporated areas.

✅ DO respect safety buffers — keep fireworks at least 600 ft from prohibited locations such as: churches, hospitals, schools, daycares, and 100 ft from gas stations, fireworks stands, or fuel storage.

✅ DO use common safety steps — light one at a time, have water nearby, supervise kids and pets, read labels.

✅ DO contact authorities — if you spot celebratory gunfire, call our dispatch (713) 477-4070

🚫 DON’T attempt fireworks in city limits — violations carry fines of $500–$2,000 per firework.

🚫 DON’T ignite fireworks near or from vehicles — it’s illegal and dangerous.

🚫 DON’T relight duds or throw fireworks in metal/glass containers — they can explode unpredictably.

🚫 DON’T let kids handle fireworks unsupervised — even sparklers burn at ~1200°F and cause many injuries.

🚫 DON’T mix fireworks with alcohol or drugs — impaired use leads to accidents.

🐾 Pet safety tip: Keep pets indoors with collars on, blinds closed, and offer comforting distractions — loud noises can disorient them.

Yesterday, PPD celebrated the extraordinary careers of Chief Jerry Wright and Detective Donna Wright, honoring their unwavering commitment to Pasadena and its community.

Yesterday, we honored the retirement of Chief Jerry Wright after 33 years of service and Detective Donna Wright with 23 years of service, marking the close of a remarkable journey with the Pasadena Police Department.

Chief Wright, a Pasadena native, began his journey as a dispatcher at just 19. Rising through every rank over 33 years, he never lost his heart for service or his commitment to community. From patrol and investigations to leading the department as Chief, his focus remained clear: reduce crime, build trust, and take care of the officers who serve. Under his leadership, morale soared, innovation thrived, and lives of many were changed for the better.

Detective Donna Wright’s public service journey began as a paramedic, where she answered critical medical calls with courage and compassion for nearly 12 years. Her path led her to Pasadena PD in 2002, and in 2005 she proudly became a Pasadena Police Officer. Donna served for seven years on Evening Shift Patrol where she honed her investigative skills and developed a passion for serving crime victims, which led her to a six year journey in the Violent Crimes Division. Detective Wright found a new meaning and purpose serving victims and their families during some of the most unimaginably difficult times of their lives. For the last seven years, Detective Wright served in the Financial Crimes Division investigating one of the fastest growing crimes in our nation. She gave a voice to countless fraud victims and brought to justice those who preyed upon them, not only in Pasadena, but across the country. And even with all of that, her insatiable dedication to service did not stop there—she was also a Crisis Negotiator, TCOLE Instructor, and Master Peace Officer.

Donna and Jerry’s stories are individually powerful—but together, they represent a legacy of dedication, teamwork, and integrity. Chief Wright and Detective Donna Wright first and foremost served their community by relentlessly pursuing justice for victims. This dynamic duo filed Harris County criminal charges on well over a thousand suspects for the most serious offenses, from crimes against children to serial aggravated robberies to homicides. They’ve both served with honor and humility, and inspired countless individuals every step of the way.

As they step into this next chapter side by side, we wish them nothing but peaceful mornings, well-earned rest, and new adventures with their family.

Thank you, Chief Wright and Detective Wright, for the extraordinary service you so freely gave to the Pasadena Police Department.

If you think your Fourth of July plans are safe. LPPD has shocking statistics that will make you rethink driving after a few drinks.

Media Relations Information for June 26, 2025
Public Relations Officer – Asst. Chief Bennie Boles
Office: 281- 842-3114

LPPD Focuses Efforts on Impaired Drivers During the Holiday

On July 4th, America celebrates the birth of our nation. Around the holiday, sadly, we often see an increase in impaired driving crashes. 2024 saw more than 1,000 drunk driving-related deaths. The July 4 holiday season had more than 5,000 DUI-related crashes, resulting in 64 deaths and over 200 injuries. That’s why TxDOT, law enforcement officials, and other key partners are working together this Fourth of July and increasing their presence across the state as part of a statewide High Visibility Enforcement effort.

Texans will notice an increased presence of law enforcement officials during the Fourth of July weekend as part of an aggressive crackdown on impaired drivers. DPS and other law enforcement agencies throughout Texas have received federal grants to increase enforcement efforts over the holiday weekend.

Tips to Celebrate Safely
• If you plan to drink, make a plan ahead of time for a sober ride home.
• Even if you’ve had only one drink, let someone who hasn’t been drinking take you home. A sober driver is one who does not drink at all, not the one who’s had the least to drink.
• If you’re hosting a Fourth of July gathering, help the designated drivers out by making sure there are plenty of non-alcoholic beverages.
• Have a friend who is about to drive impaired? Take the keys away and make arrangements to get your friend home safely.
• If you see an impaired driver on the road, safely pull over and call 911.
• Always wear your seat belt.

As an enforcement strategy, the La Porte Police Department (LPPD) is using funds through ongoing assistance from a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) grant. The Independence Day enforcement period is June 26 – July 13, 2025. 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.

After 33 years of selfless service and community dedication, Chief Wright has retired, leaving behind a legacy of integrity and compassion.

It is with great respect and gratitude that we announce the retirement of Chief Wright, after 33 years of dedicated service to the Pasadena Police Department. His journey is a testament to selfless service, humble heart, and relentless work ethic, which have left a lasting mark on our city.

Chief Wright, a Pasadena native, began his path right here in town, shaped by the values of hard work and compassion instilled by his family. He joined the department in 1991 as a dispatcher and graduated from the police academy in 1996. Throughout his career he embraced some of the most challenging roles, from investigating sensitive crimes against children and domestic violence to serving as a Polygraph Examiner, always displaying immense strength and determination.

Rising through the ranks to Lieutenant and then Assistant Chief, he led with integrity, overseeing critical units and mentoring countless officers. In 2023 he was appointed Chief of Police, and he immediately focused on crime suppression, strengthening community partnerships, and ensuring employee resilience. In less than two years, his initiatives produced a drop in crime rates and an increase in quality of life. He did all this while remaining a constant presence in the community; reading to children, hosting movie nights, and leading neighborhood discussions.

Perhaps his greatest legacy is the care he showed his officers. Under his leadership, recruiting, retention, and morale soared. He led with authenticity, knew his officers by name, and always supported their goals and celebrated their achievements. Chief Wright has been a true servant leader, and his legacy of integrity and compassion will forever be embedded in the fabric of the Pasadena Police Department.

We thank him for his incredible service and wish him a wonderful retirement!

After Hurricane Beryl DPPD has some tips keeping your family safe using generators.

Reminder that Deer Park received multiple carbon monoxide related fire and EMS calls following hurricane Beryl due to generator use.
Generators must be used outside, in a well-ventilated area, at least 20 feet from doors, windows and vents. Exhaust should be directed away from buildings.
Generators used in garages or placed near soffit vents, doors or windows can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside the house. Carbon monoxide detectors should be used when running generators.
Carbon monoxide is called the silent or invisible killer because it is colorless and odorless. Signs of carbon monoxide poisoning include shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, nausea, chest pain, confusion and/or weakness.
Call 9-1-1 if you believe you or someone else has been exposed to carbon monoxide.

PPD’s recognition of their dedicated team’s efforts making every challenge worthwhile and meaningful.

This career is not always easy and is certainly not for the faint of heart. The lows can be particularly challenging, and the positive moments often don’t receive the recognition they deserve. That’s why our department makes it a point to highlight the good—recognizing the everyday efforts of those who serve our community. Last week, we held an award ceremony to recognize key contributions within our agency, highlighting our Ramp program, which focuses on mental resilience and peer support, as well as the faith and guidance provided by our Chaplain Division and community outreach initiatives in Pasadena, such as the PACE program.

PPD’s Chaplain Donald Granberry, a beacon of faith and hope, his legacy will forever illuminate the hearts he touched in Pasadena.

In Loving Memory of Donald Granberry

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pasadena Police Department Chaplain Donald Granberry.

Chaplain Granberry served as a local pastor for 35 years, beginning his preaching in 1990 and faithfully continuing his work until he was ordained in 1999 by the Assemblies of God.

From 2002 to 2014 his calling led him to Central Assembly of God Church on Crenshaw Road in Pasadena, TX where he served as the lead pastor.

While many in our department knew him through his work at local Pasadena churches, he officially joined the ranks of our Chaplain Corps in September 2017, serving our officers until his passing.

Our sincerest gratitude goes out to Chaplain Granberry for his love and commitment to our department and the entire Pasadena community. We were fortunate to have Chaplain Granberry present at our most important events and his words were always a gift of comfort, hope and strength.

He leaves behind a long legacy of service and will be greatly missed by those whose lives he touched. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife and family, as they navigate through this difficult time.

Funeral services will be held at Grace Church Houston at 14505 Gulf Freeway on Saturday, June 28th. The visitation will begin at 10:00am with services immediately following at 11:00am.

Video: Under the cover of night, oblivious 🤡’s made a questionable choice to steal a truck under PPD’s watch.

In the quiet hours of the night, when most people are dreaming of tacos and retirement, two suspects had a not so brilliant idea: steal a truck.

Little did they know that Pasadena Police Officers were already watching from above—quietly following their every (“calculated”) turn with our drone.

The suspects cruised through neighborhoods like they were headed to Waffle House on a Sunday morning, completely unaware that units were closing in faster than a dad joke at a BBQ.

But just as they were ready to vanish into the night—BAM!—lights, sirens, and officers approached in unison like your favorite 80’s band reunion tour!

The suspects were placed into custody for their unwaffle [unlawful] acts of motor vehicle theft and drug related offenses.

Kudos to night shift patrol & the Auto Crimes Unit for the remarkable teamwork that resulted in the apprehension of these suspects!

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.

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.

Thanks to vigilant citizens and collaborative law enforcement efforts, auto theft 🤡s were locked up. Community teamwork pays off.

🚨 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! 💪

Constable Garcia teamed up with Mr. Robert at W.I.L.D. to rescue a raccoon family turning an attic into their home.

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.

A tragic loss, Precinct 2 remembers Sergeant Manuel Edwards, a dedicated officer who brought joy, compassion, and laughter to everyone around him.

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.

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.

Precinct 2 Deputy Trevino bravely retrieved an abandoned trapped cat without a cat scratch. It’s illegal to dump animals.

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!

PPD Officer David M. Staley is remembered and his memorial found a new home, honoring his dedication and friendship, cherished by all who knew him.

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.

Precinct 2 and the US Marshals preformed an arrest warrant for evading unwittingly unveiled a public nuisance complete with electrical theft.

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.

During National Police Week, Precinct 8 honors Constable John Monroe Weaver, a brave officer who paid the ultimate price in service to his community.

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.

Harris County residents. Keep the skies safe by never firing guns into the air or you’re gonna get locked up.

*****ALERT*****

Harris County Precinct Two Deputies are on high alert after several calls came into our dispatch office regarding a Discharging Firearms Call. We want to remind everyone every bullet that is fired from a weapon into the air, must come down. Too many people have been killed and/or seriously injured from irresponsible people firing their guns.
We want to make you aware that if you are caught discharging your weapon, we will take action and put the suspect(s) in jail! So please, refrain from committing this illegal act. The safety of our citizens depend on it.

Local leaders engaged in discussions with Pasadena police and fire chiefs, strengthening community ties and shared aspirations for a brighter future.

Earlier this week, the Police Department hosted a panel Q and A with Impact Pasadena, a leadership development course sponsored through the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. This initiative encourages local leaders and business owners to learn more about local and state government, with the goal of encouraging future participation and collaboration amongst our citizens. During this panel, participants got to hear from Police Chief Wright, Assistant Chief Dombrowa, Assistant Chief Warnke, and Fire Chief Armstrong. While answering questions compiled by the participants, they explained some of their department’s biggest strengths, accomplishments, and future goals.

Hosting this event was just a small way we could give back to the Chamber, as they have always shown such vigorous support of important department programs like P.A.C.E. (Pasadena Accreditation & Community Empowerment Program), R.A.M.P. (Resiliency and Mentorship Program), and the Assist the Officer fund. We thank the Chamber of Commerce for including us in this effort and look forward to future opportunities to share our dreams and successes with upcoming leaders within our community.

The JrCPA students zoomed around the track with PPD, blending excitement with essential driving skills and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Possibly the fan favorite experience for our young adrenaline junkies, our JrCPA students got to speed around our driving track and experience what it can feel like when an officer runs emergency traffic or participates in a pursuit. Their need for speed was accompanied with an important reminder that, while officers do need to get to a call quickly, they also need to get there safely. Students were shown important aspects of the course that include braking and maneuvering around cones; which simulated traffic hazards and pedestrians. All in all, it was a fun evening, with beautiful weather, messy hair and lots of laughter.

Video: The Pasadena Police Department’s collaborative efforts with city leaders are tackling tough challenges, ensuring a thriving, safe, and supportive community for all residents.

Spotlight on the great work and collaboration between the Pasadena Police Department and city departments to keep Pasadena thriving.

The Pasadena Police Department’s Quality of Life (QOL), Community Improvement, and Code Enforcement Division, with the assistance of other city leaders, has teamed up to focus on some problem areas throughout Pasadena. The relationships and partnerships among these departments are vital to the city’s continued growth and success.

Across the nation, we face issues of how to deal with the effects of drug addiction and those struggling with mental health issues and homelessness. As Pasadena grows, it is vital to maintain the city’s aesthetic, health, cleanliness, and safety. The Pasadena Police Department must uphold the law while providing compassionate support and resources to assist individuals in transitioning off the street and into housing or the appropriate county service.

We want to thank our partners at the Harris Center for Mental Health and Intellectual Developmental Disabilities, who play a vital role in helping us immediately evaluate individuals at the time of contact with an officer. Their support allows us to provide prompt and appropriate assistance to those facing mental illness or homelessness. Another wonderful organization the Pasadena QOL has outsourced during their homelessness encounters and would also like to thank is Families to Freedom. This organization assists Domestic Violence survivors with reaching loved ones outside the city or state.

We are proud of Sergeant M. Hibbs, Officer W. Jones, Officer R. Childers, and Officer C. Cook’s efforts. Their hard work makes an impact and strengthens the department’s outreach and presence in the community, driving positive change in Pasadena.

After years of dedicated service to our department and the community of Pasadena, these amazing folks deserve a night to relax and reminisce.

There were big hugs and even bigger smiles as they were given the chance to catch up with others who lived through the good, the bad, and the ugly that come with this career. Aside from lots of delicious food and plentiful laughter, this year, attendees were treated to a presentation that may have finally provided answers to one of our department’s most infamous mysteries.

Precinct 8 Deputy Margison tasered a crafty 🤡 attempting to purchase iPhones with phony IDs.

On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Deputy Shawn Margison of the Harris County Precinct 8 Constable’s Office responded to a report of attempted fraud at 19400 block of Gulf Freeway.

The store’s Loss Prevention personnel reported that a black female matching the description from a recent “Be on the Lookout” (BOLO) alert had entered the store and attempted to purchase two Apple iPhones using a fictitious identification card. This individual had tried a similar transaction at another store location earlier in the day but was turned away after staff identified the ID as fraudulent.

Upon arrival, Deputy Margison observed the suspect seated at the mobile phone counter and was directed to her by store personnel. When questioned, the suspect claimed she was checking an account on behalf of her father and presented an Illinois ID card. However, the store associate confirmed that this was not the ID previously presented during the attempted purchase.

As Deputy Margison attempted to detain the suspect, she became physically non-compliant, resisting verbal commands and attempts to secure her in handcuffs. After verbal warnings and multiple efforts to gain compliance, Deputy Margison successfully deployed his department-issued TASER and was able to detain the suspect without further incident.

The suspect was positively identified as 25-year-old Alexis Jones of Chicago, IL. A search of the Jones’ belongings revealed additional fraudulent documents, including: 1 Texas Driver’s License bearing her photograph with false identifying information and 1 Minnesota Driver’s License also displaying her photograph under a different identity. Both documents were confirmed to be fictitious. Jones was ultimately arrested and transported to the Harris County Jail and charged with Tampering with a Government Record & Interfering with Public Duties.

Precinct 8 Deputy J. Humphrey’s standoff concluded with the arrest of a fugitive 🤡 and his accomplice, another 🤡, both evading justice.

Yesterday, April 29, 2025, Deputy J. Humphrey made an arrest on a male for two felony warrants and a female for hindering the apprehension of a fugitive. Deputy Humphrey arrived at an apartment located in the 1500 block of Bay Area Blvd. in Houston to look for 37-year-old Matthew Bishop, whom the deputy knew was wanted out of Harris County for felony Evading in a Motor Vehicle and Possession of a Controlled Substance. Deputy Humphrey was familiar with the male because on April 16, 2025, he was involved in a vehicle pursuit with Bishop and he was subsequently arrested. After Bishop later failed to appear for court on the charges, arrest warrants were issued for him. When Deputy Humphrey arrived, he went to Bishop’s apartment and observed a delivery driver talking to Bishop from his apartment doorway. Deputy Humphrey was able to positively identify Bishop by sight. Upon seeing Deputy Humphrey, Bishop slammed the door and refused to exit the apartment. A female began to talk through the door repeatedly stating Bishop was not home, even though he was seen by Deputy Humphrey inside the apartment. After a 20-minute standoff, the male finally exited and was arrested. The female was also familiar to Deputy Humphrey because she had been in the vehicle with Bishop when he fled from him on April 16th, but had to be released that day due to medical reasons. The female was arrested for Hindering Apprehension of a Fugitive and Failure to Identify, after it was learned she provided a false name to Deputy Humphrey both yesterday and on April 16th following the initial pursuit. Her true identity was confirmed to be 34-year-old Samantha Ann Galloway and it was discovered she was also wanted out of Fort Bend County on warrants for Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle and Fraudulent Use of ID. Both Bishop and Galloway were booked into the Harris County Jail without incident. Bishop has since been denied bond and a bond for Galloway has not yet been set.

Constable Garcia dedicates National Hero Day to proudly celebrate his deputies, who embody true heroism through their dedication and unwavering service.

Yesterday was National Hero Day, and I want to take a moment to recognize some of the greatest heroes I know — my deputies.

They may not wear capes, but they show up every day with courage, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to serve and protect our community. Whether it’s in the heat of the moment or the quiet work behind the scenes, their dedication makes a difference in people’s lives — often without recognition or fanfare.

To my team: Thank you for being the everyday heroes our community can count on. I’m proud to stand beside you.

— Constable Garcia
