Doesn't really look like we have security anymore. Someone could have been killed last night in forest cove. An hour after a 911 call before a cop shows up? Unacceptable. 4951

One hour for the Police to respond to an attempted break in to a residence with people home is UNACCEPTABLE.  Kingwood deserves better protection. 4951

They don't care about Kingwood. They just use us for our tax money. They will talk a big game at the meeting but nothing will change. 4951

@saltwaterfisherman:
 
Yes, my husband attended the Positive Interaction Program meeting tonight. There were representatives form HPD there. There was a review of Kingwood crimes for the month of January, brief Q&A and a presentation.
There were several HPD officers attending the meeting. This is a monthly meeting for ALL Kingwood residents and there are special presentations arranged by HPD. They did suggest that if residents have questions or concerns, the town hall meeting on Thursday night would be a good place to address them. My husband also commented that this seems to be a good forum for residents to build a positive relationship with HPD but was somewhat disappointed to see only 15-20 people there. So, if car break-ins, thefts, robberies and other crimes concern you, maybe attending the town hall and future monthly PIP meetings would be a good start.

 go to the meetings and get involved.  I have been to the meeting and it is quite embarrassing how few people turn up.  People Love, Love, Love to complain but go to your HOA meeting and see that it is always to same handful of people out of a 1200 home neighborhood who show up....  It really is sad. 4951

@saltwaterfisherman:
 
The town hall meeting is on Thursday, February 23, 2017 from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at the Kingwood Community Center located at 4102 Rustic Woods Drive. City council member Dave Martin will be there representing District 3 (our district). Houston Mayor Turner will be there as well and is supposed to provide a presentation. We were told last night that the new Captain for the HPD Kingwood division would also be there to provide a presentation. Again, this should be a good forum for residents to get an understanding of some important projects that will be affecting Kingwood. It will also be a good opportunity to begin a good dialog with the new police captain.

Well I attended the town hall meeting last night, and I wasn`t impressed. I learned a few things about Harris county government, and I think that it might time to sell the house and move out of the Harris County jurisdiction. It sounds like Kingwood residents pay 9% of the total tax dollars that go to Harris County, and we only see about a 3% return of that money back in repairs to our community. There are over 5000 police officers in Harris County and Kingwood has just a few officers that are protecting Kingwood at a time. This is concerning because they are covering Kingwood, Huffman and the surrounding area. The other thing that I took away from the meeting is that the police blame the owners who had their cars broken into. It was their fault because they left personal belongings in their cars and most of them were unlocked. I have a great suggestion for the police, put more officers on duty and actually put some effort into catching the people that are breaking the law. 4951

Here's the thing, leaving valuables in your car, in plain sight, is just stupid. When you go to the gym, do you leave you wallet, stuffed with cash and credit cards, sitting on the bench outside of your locker, or do you lock it up? Don't be an idiot! Most people who are victims of those types of crimes are victims of opportunity. Same goes with locking your car door. Do you lock the doors on your house? Well then, lock the doors to your vehicle!
 
This type of thought process always amazes me. It's like someone who knows their teen is sexually active, but allows them to have guests of the opposite sex, in their bedroom, with the door closed, and then see amazed when the girl ends up pregnant. Duh!
 
Now, with regards to police presence, I definitely think Kingwood gets the shaft on this one, but when I worked on the PD, those areas that had more crime, always had more officers assigned to that area. Think of that as "supply and demand". It's the ugly truth, but the truth and nothing but the proof. Having said that, feel free to put the station on speed dial for anything that is non emergency, because remember, the squeaky wheel always gets the grease. 4951

@saltwaterfisherman:
Thank you for attending the town hall meeting on thursday. I think it is very important for people to show interest in their community and I'm sure your presence was appreciated by Dave Martin, the mayor and the new police captain. I'm sorry that you felt unimpressed by the meeting but it sounds like you took away some information that you didnt already have and in that respect, the town hall was successful. Unfortunately, town halls will never please everybody and they shouldn't. With regards to the car break-ins, i find it interesting that people can leave the same meeting having heard different messages. I heard the captain ask residents to help by keeping their car doors locked. There are people out there that want to steal your property and the police are asking you to be part of the solution. I heard no blame. Most of all, i heard that HPD wants to build a closer relationship with the residents and i think that the new captain will do his best to make that happen. Again, thanks for representing your community at the town hall, it makes a big difference.

Did you stay for the meeting in entirely? Did you hear the gentlemen that had his 2015 Ford F250 stolen from his driveway in November/ December. He said that it was locked, and he called the police multiple times and he couldn`t them to return the call.  He also went on to say that the police never showed up at this house to complete a police report. He also went on to say that he had an idea who might have taken it. This happened when the new Captain was in office.Did you hear the woman who`s house was vandalized and the police blamed her kids for making someone mad?My daughter was hit by a hit and run driver last year on her way home from work. She called the police and then she called me, I made it before the police and she gave them a description of the car, the driver and all of the plate numbers except the last number because she couldn`t remember it. They told us that they couldn`t help and they refused to file a report because she didn`t have the complete plate number. Last year my 15 year old son was siting on his bike in a gas station when a woman hit him and took off with out rendering aid. When I called the police they told me that they couldn`t help because we don`t have the plate number of the car. When I explained that the woman was getting gas,and she should be on the camera they still wouldn`t come to fill out a report. Asking for the community to help is one thing, but what is the point when they won`t file a police report and blame the victims? 4951
