9/11 Never Forget

Remembering 9/11 is a solemn reflection on the tragic events of September 11, 2001, when terrorist attacks claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 men, women, and children in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania.

We honor the victims, the first responders who risked and gave their lives, and the resilience shown in the aftermath. This day is marked by memorials, moments of silence, and a collective commitment to never forget the impact of that day on the world and the enduring spirit of unity and strength that followed.

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.

A graduate of Pasadena Police Academy Class #19, Sergeant McCreight had a remarkable career in which he served as the department’s helicopter pilot and later became a pilot instructor. Sgt. McCreight flew numerous missions, including a notable 24-hour flight to Florida. During his visit, Sergeant McCreight made one heartfelt request: to reclaim his hat badge, #92, assigned to him during his service. This badge, a powerful symbol of his dedication and commitment, holds a special place in his heart. Without hesitation, Assistant Chief Dombrowa made this happen, and together with Chief Wright, they were happy to surprise Sergeant McCreight with his badge. We always enjoy reconnecting with our retired brothers and sisters in blue, and we are deeply grateful for Sergeant McCreight’s service and lasting impact on our department.

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.

Wow check out PPD’s illegal firearms discharge stats on the past 4th of Julys.

In the months preceding July 4th, we launched an initiative to raise awareness about the dangers of recklessly discharging a firearm. We teamed up with our Digital Intelligence Unit and dedicated much time and effort to researching facts and strategies to better protect the citizens of Pasadena.


We are grateful that our community responded to our encouragement to report illegal activity (“celebratory gunfire”) on the 4th of July.

We compared Discharge of Firearm data from July 4th, 2021, through 2024 and concluded that the City of Pasadena experienced a drastic decrease in illegal firearms discharge.

With the support of several divisions throughout the division, in addition to citizens reporting illegal activity, crime was reduced by 66%! This is the lowest amount of firearms discharged on the 4th of since July 4th, 2021 — during the quarantine and peak of COVID.

With all the lines being cleared from trees after that fact, PPD has a reminder when passing construction.

The state’s Move Over or Slow Down law requires drivers to move over—putting a lane between them and roadside workers—or reduce their speed to 20 mph below the posted speed limit when passing law enforcement, tow trucks, utility vehicles, emergency responders and TxDOT vehicles stopped with activated overhead lights on the side of the road.

Changes to the law went into effect on Sept. 1, 2023, and imposed heftier penalties for violations, including fines of up to $1,250 for a first offense. Stricter penalties for drivers who cause serious injuries by failing to follow these rules now include possible jail time and a fine of up to $4,000.

The 86th Police Cadet Class and PISD officers took on ALERRT training, mastering the art of responding to active attacks with precision.

The 86th Police Cadet Class and officers from the Pasadena ISD Police Department participated in the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) class this week. The Texas State Legislature and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement have mandated that all Texas State Law Enforcement officers attend this 16-hour course every two years.

ALERRT is a tactical course designed to train first responders in the concepts and principles of responding to an active attack or active shooter event. It is the national standard for active shooter training and has been adopted by the FBI and other federal agencies as their training program. Pasadena has several adjunct instructors who delivered the course, which covers topics such as approaching and entering the attack site, interior movement and room entry, medical/casualty care, improvised explosive devices, incident command structure, reality-based scenarios, and mental preparedness.

Once completed, the attendees/students will understand the basic concepts and principles of how to respond to an active attack and be able to seamlessly coordinate with other ALERRT-trained agencies in the event of an attack.

We want to thank Pasadena Police ISD for joining our cadets for this training and Thompson Intermediate for letting the cadets utilize the school for training. Pasadena ISD Police Officers Association

PPD Sergeant Dixon’s rise from firefighter to field training officer exemplifies hard work, dedication, and leadership.

This morning, we celebrated Alexander Dixon’s promotion to the rank of Sergeant.

Alex’s journey in public service began in 2015 as a firefighter and EMT with the City of Conroe. His dedication to serving the community was evident, and after three years, he chose to continue his service by attending and graduating from the 75th Pasadena Police Academy in 2018.

During this time, Alex completed a rotation with the Auto Crimes Unit, which enhanced his investigative abilities and provided additional value to his peers on patrol.

Alex has always felt his calling was to pursue a leadership role. His dedication to mentoring, teaching, and fostering a positive team environment has set the foundation for his success and is an example for us all.

PPD hooking up Fill the Bus, ensuring students have the tools they need for success.

Fill the Bus is a partnership between the City of Pasadena, Texas – Government, Pasadena Independent School District, and the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. The initiative provides school supplies for children in Pasadena while empowering teachers to decide which materials are best for their classrooms.

The Pasadena Police Department’s Community Services Division collected the items that were donated by police department employees and citizens and dropped them off at the Fill the Bus event at the Pasadena Convention Center on Monday.

Thank you to everyone who donated and participated in this event. With your help, we are able to support local teachers for the upcoming school year and ensure that Pasadena students have everything they need to succeed.
