thread_title:  Pictures 

message: I might have some photos in my archive that might be relevant, but I think it needs to be cleaned up a bit more.  I don't have much additional information to add, though. I'll add it to my list for this week. --Hourick 14:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup on links 

message: Created/moved organization chart to its own page with a link in its original location. 
Might do the same or create page with a merge/purge with other information that seems to just clutter up the article. 
I took a photo of HPD's HQ downtown recently and have pics of it's mounted police.  I'll search my archives for it. --Hourick 23:39, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Completely unnecessary. Article isn't long enough to justify splitting into separate articles. I've moved it back. -- Necrothesp 08:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Houston Police Department patch.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Spanish names

message: I need opinion as to whether or not this section is properly formatted AND appropriate to the article.  Looking at the Los Angeles Police Department, New York City Police Department, and several other departments, only NYPD seems to have something remotely about disciplined officers, and even then, they were broken away to another article, then THEN broken down to a sub-sub article (Abner Louima).  My feeling it that is isn't consistent with other articles of police departments, I would not be opposed to it being included in the History of the Houston Police Department in the appropriate section.   I will leave the edit as it currently stands until a suitable amount of time for a discussion to take place, if none occurs, then I will revert and assimilate the information into the history article. --Hourick (talk) 19:38, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello, my name is JoVanna and in my Public Administrations class I am required to choose a article to submit suggestions to. I chose your article because I am from Houston, Tx and the police department is something I find interesting. I found this article to be extremely informative. I do want to suggest that in the paragraph "The Academy, field training, and mentor program" you add some more information on what the lateral classes that were once held for other police agencies are and why they are no longer being held.

replies: text: I'm not sure this belongs in the article because of WP:NOTNEWS. Twenty years from now, will it make sense for articles on police forces, airline crews, schools, etc., to continue to cover the number of members who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020? Does it make sense today to add information to each of their articles about the number of their members who died during the 1918–1920 flu epidemic? I think that would be giving that information undue weight in the context of the topic. Largoplazo (talk) 17:57, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
