Fortunately, we were able to stop them from sending her money and registered them the correct way. We have reported her to Facebook.

GCVOFTF Pasadena Team captured a fugitive wanted for multiple counts of sexual assault of a child on Puerto Rico’s Most Wanted List.

The Gulf Coast Violent Offenders and Fugitive Task Force is a United States Marshals administered task force whose mission is to apprehend violent fugitives. While the GCVOFTF’s area of responsibility encompasses almost the entire Texas Gulf Coast, the GCVOFTF Pasadena Team primarily works within the Houston Region on fugitive cases connected to investigations in Pasadena and other surrounding agencies.

Recently, members of the GCVOFTF Pasadena Team were made aware of a fugitive who was on Puerto Rico’s most wanted list for multiple counts of sexual assault of a child. They developed information that this fugitive was possibly in the area. Ultimately, our team located the suspect, arrested him, and extradited him to Puerto Rico.

The team has selflessly chosen to serve in a division that seeks the most violent offenders to protect the people who live and work in our area. Their bravery in fulfilling their mission is a testament to their character and the embodiment of the selfless service of the members of the Pasadena Police Department.

Unlocking excellence, how PPD became one of Texas’ Elite 221 accredited agencies.

A Committee of Chiefs of Police and Command level officers from across Texas assisted in developing standards critical for the proper functioning of Texas law enforcement agencies. They reviewed Texas law and other State Accreditation Program standards to determine which were most appropriate. This program committee is the Texas Police Chief’s Association (TPCA).

Of the over 2,700 police agencies in the state, only 221 are accredited, and the Pasadena Police Department is proud to have earned this distinction. This accreditation requires the constant review of our policies, procedures and practices to ensure we meet TPCA’s standards. This accreditation was first achieved in July of 2021 and has been met every year since.

Congratulations to Pasadena Police Department Alumni Chief Gene Ellis as he continues his journey as TPCA’s Executive Director.

Forty two vehicle burglary spree ends with an arrest by Precinct 8 Investigators of Dalen not so Bright in Pasadena.

SUSPECT ARRESTED AFTER BURGLARIZING 42 VEHICLES

Precinct 8 Investigators arrested a burglary suspect this week after an extensive investigation. Multiple vehicle burglaries committed by the suspect occurred on August 9, 2024 at the Caroline Apartments, located in the 1200 block of E Nasa Pkwy, where 42 vehicles were burglarized. Among them was a marked patrol vehicle. Through the course of the investigation, Precinct 8 Investigators identified 23 year old Dalen Traell Bright as the suspect and obtained a search warrant for his residence and arrest warrants for Burglary of Motor Vehicle and Criminal Mischief. On August 27, 2024, members of the Precinct 8 Criminal Investigations Division and our Street Crimes Unit executed a search warrant at Bright’s residence in the 700 block of Preston Ave. in Pasadena. During the search, deputies located a handgun, methamphetamine, crack cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia consistent with the sale and distribution of narcotics. A further search of the residence yielded multiple stolen items including stolen police equipment. Precinct 8 Deputies initiated a traffic stop on the suspect’s vehicle and Bright was placed under arrest for the active warrants. Deputies conducted a search of the vehicle incident to arrest and located a black mask and multiple window breaking tools. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted additional charges for Possession with Intent to Deliver and Possession of Criminal Instrument, but declined Theft charges for possession of the stolen property. Bright was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bonds were set at a total of $40,100. Bright was later released on a Personal Bond.

LLPD: Texas DPS unveils essential driving tips and enhanced enforcement.

Sharing on behalf of TX DPS: DPS Offers Safety Tips Ahead of Labor Day Holiday

As part of an effort to keep drivers safe this Labor Day weekend, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is increasing enforcement efforts, including Operation Crash Awareness Reduction Effort (CARE) Aug. 30 through Sept. 2, statewide.

Operation CARE is a specialized campaign in which Texas Highway Patrol Troopers look for drivers who are speeding, intoxicated, not complying with Texas’ Move Over, Slow Down law or violating other laws.

During last year’s Labor Day enforcement campaign, Troopers issued more than 43,179 citations and warnings, including 4,332 for speeding; 990 for no insurance; 421 for individuals without seat belts or child seat restraints; and over 207 for Move Over, Slow Down violations. DPS also arrested 193 people on DWI charges and 222 people for other felony charges.

Here are some other safety tips to keep in mind:
• Don’t drink and drive. Make alternate plans if you are consuming alcohol.
• Move Over or Slow Down for police, fire, EMS, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) vehicles and tow trucks stopped on the side of the road with emergency lights activated. Show the same courtesy to fellow drivers who are stopped on the side of the road. So far in 2024, there have been more than 4,510 Move Over, Slow Down violations.
• Buckle up everyone in the vehicle — it’s the law.
• Slow down, especially in bad weather, heavy traffic, unfamiliar areas or construction zones.
• Eliminate distractions while driving, including the use of mobile devices. Texas law prohibits the use of portable wireless devices to read, write or send an electronic message unless the vehicle is stopped. If you’re using a navigation device or app, have a passenger operate it so you can keep your eyes on the road.
• Drive defensively, as holiday travel can present additional challenges.
• On multi-lane roads, use the left lane for passing only. Not only is it courteous driving and avoids impeding traffic, Texas law requires slower traffic to keep to the right and to use the left lane for passing only (when posted).
• Don’t cut in front of large trucks and try not to brake quickly in front of them. They can’t maneuver as easily as passenger vehicles and pickup trucks.
• If you can Steer It, Clear It: If you are involved in a non-injury crash and your vehicle can be moved, clear the traffic lanes to minimize traffic impact. Leaving vehicles in a traffic lane increases traffic congestion and leaves those involved with an increased risk of harm or a secondary wreck. On some highways, if you don’t move your vehicle when it’s safe to do so, it’s against the law.
• Keep the Texas Roadside Assistance number stored in your phone. Dial 1-800-525-5555 for any type of assistance. The number can also be found on the back of a Texas Driver License.
• Check your vehicle to make sure it is properly maintained and always ensure your cargo is secure.
• Report road hazards or anything suspicious to the nearest law enforcement agency.
• Monitor weather and road conditions wherever you are traveling.

If there is an emergency, dial 911.

To reach the La Porte Police Department non-emergency, dial 281-471-2141.

DPPD: Protect yourself from the rising threat of ‘Quishing’ – QR code scams.

Be aware of a new scam called “Quishing;” which is phishing with QR codes. Did you receive an unsolicited package at your home? Did it come with a QR code, instructing you to scan it? Do not scan the QR code unless you know the sender’s credibility. Scammers can download malware on your cell phone if you scan the QR code.
Here are some tips when you see a QR code:
 Do not scan a randomly found QR code.
 Be suspicious if, after scanning a QR code, the site asks for a password or login info.
 Do not scan QR codes received in emails or text messages unless you know they are legitimate. Call the sender to confirm.
 Some scammers are physically pasting bogus codes over legitimate ones. If it looks as though a code has been tampered with, don’t use it. Same thing with legitimate ads you pick up or get in the mail.

Meet hairy PPD officer K9 Taz, the Dutch Shepherd taking the Police Department by storm.

We are excited to introduce Officer B. Kelldorf Jr.’s new partner, K9 Taz to the Pasadena Police Department. Officer B. Kelldorf Jr. continues to pursue his passion of being a K9 handler and has taken on the responsibility of training his new partner, Taz.

In April, PPD received Taz, a 1-year-old Dutch Shepherd that was purchased from Hill Country Dog Center. Officer B. Kelldorf Jr. and Taz endured a rigorous 4-week training course that covered various topics; some topics included canine care, principles of conditioning, basic characteristics of odor, building searches, & gunfire training.

On a daily basis, Officer B. Kelldorf Jr. practices patience as he is Taz’s first handler. Kelldorf Jr. admires the fact that Taz is very attentive; “he has a good on/ off switch … when it’s time to work, he works, and when it’s time to be off, he just chills.”

Although Officer Kelldorf has several years of experience as a canine handler, he is learning to build a canine from the ground up. He explains that overall, it has been challenging, but the benefits outweigh any obstacles. He is excited to continue to learn and grow with Taz and reminds himself of the importance of effective communication because sometimes, when working with Taz, it feels like he’s dealing with a toddler … with very sharp teeth.

LPPD has announced Chief Ron Parker passed away. A legacy of dedication and integrity in La Porte.

It is with profound sadness the La Porte Police Department announces the passing of former Chief Ron Parker.

Chief Parker dedicated the majority of his policing career to serving the community of La Porte. He was known for his honor, integrity, and unwavering dedication. Chief Parker joined the La Porte Police Department in 1984 and faithfully served in several divisions before his appointment to Chief in October 2018. During his time as chief, the department made great progress in the areas of public safety and community engagement. Chief Parker also played a key role in helping the department achieve accreditation status with the State of Texas in 2009. In March 2020, Chief Parker took a position as the Chief of Police in Brenham, TX, where he served until his retirement in March of this year.

Chief Parker’s legacy of service and commitment will continue to inspire others. Our deepest condolences go out to his wife, Debbie, and his family during this difficult time. On behalf of the La Porte Police Department, we thank Chief Parker for his service, and he will be deeply missed.
