Precinct 2 deputy stopped a 🤡 driving in the dark off Richey and it turned out to be a stolen vehicle.
Thursday, January 16, 2025, at approximately 11:05 PM, a Harris County Precinct Two Deputy observed a vehicle traveling southbound on Richey Street in the City of Pasadena, Texas, without headlights. The deputy conducted a traffic stop and learned that the vehicle had been reported stolen.

Two decades of dedicated service later, Pasadena’s 57th Academy Class continues to inspire as they honor their fallen comrades.
On January 10, 2025, the Pasadena Police Department proudly recognized the 20-year anniversary of the 57th Pasadena Police Academy Class. This anniversary marks a significant chapter in the lives of those who began their journey two decades ago, pledging to serve and protect their community. Today, we honor the incredible accomplishments of four members of this academy class who continue to serve, staying true to the oath they swore on that winter day, January 10, 2005.
Sergeant Chris Wilkerson, Detective Donna Wright, Officer Scott Cude, and Officer Mark Adams have exemplified the highest standards of law enforcement. Over the past 20 years, they have made lasting contributions to the department and their community. We are truly grateful for their service, sacrifice, and dedication.
As we celebrate this joyous occasion, we also pause to remember the tremendous losses from the 57th Academy Class. Detective Pete Mejia, Officer Jesse Hamilton, and Officer Roy Norman are no longer with us— two who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty, and one who passed away due to health challenges—are deeply missed. Their absence leaves a void, but their legacy remains in the hearts of those who served beside them. More than just colleagues, they were family.
Despite the hardships and heartbreaks, the 57th Academy Class has remained strong, honoring the memories of those they’ve lost and upholding the values that bind this department together. Their dedication and hard work remind us of the power found in purpose and community.
Together, we celebrate their service and honor the sacrifice of those who gave all.
Please take a moment to reflect on Sergeant Chris Wilkerson, Detective Donna Wright, Officer Scott Cude, and Officer Mark Adams and their extraordinary journey and their individual achievements over the past two decades.
To Class 57, here’s to 20 more years—hear, hear! Let’s keep serving with honor and excellence, and maybe a little less paperwork!

DPPD warning, scammers want you to buy gift cards. Here’s how to spot and avoid gift card scams.
Of course it is! Today is National Use Your Gift Card Day so by all means let’s go shopping!
But, lets get real. ONLY SCAMMERS TELL YOU TO BUY A GIFT CARD TO PAY THEM. Let us say it louder for those in the back. ONLY SCAMMERS TELL YOU TO BUY A GIFT CARD TO PAY THEM.
Below is information from our friends at Federal Trade Commission
Did someone tell you to buy a gift card to pay a fine or bill? Stop. It’s a scam. No real business or government agency will ever tell you to buy a gift card to pay them. Here’s how to spot and avoid gift card scams.
Gift card scams start with a call, text, email, or social media message. The person contacting you is, they say, from the government or a company you know. (They’re not.) They say to pay right away or something terrible will happen. (It won’t.)
Scammers rush you because they don’t want you to have time to think about what they say or talk to someone you trust. The scammer will tell you which gift cards to buy and where to buy them. Sometimes, they’ll stay on the phone with you while you go to the store and load money onto the card. They want you to think they’re helping you. (They’re not.) Once you add money to the card and give scammers the gift card number, your money is gone. If you get a call like this, hang up the phone.
If you bought a gift card and gave someone the numbers off the back of the card:
Report the gift card scam to the gift card company right away. No matter how long ago the scam happened, report it. Use the How To Contact Gift Card Companies list to report it. It helps to have the gift card and store receipt handy, if possible.
Ask for your money back. Some companies are helping stop gift card scams and might give your money back. It’s worth asking.
Tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Your report makes a difference and helps protect your community from fraud and scams.
