Given the budget cuts and understaffing currently plaguing the Houston Police Department, the police cannot be counted on to respond quickly to emergencies, let alone merely suspicious circumstances which you would like investigated and dealt with before they result in crimes. The Patrol owns a late-model police patrol car. It is equipped with a factory police equipment package and has police-type identification markings and lights. The car is maintained by the Patrol Service. The Patrol is on 24-hour duty.
Officers rotate in shifts to provide our neighborhood with continuous service.
None of this is free. Service is only available to our neighborhood as a result of voluntary contributions of the residents of Southampton and Boulevard Oaks. If you are a Southampton, Boulevard Oaks, or Southampton Extension resident and are not a current contributor, please send in your contribution today. Quarterly periods begin January, April, July, and September.
