Our Mayor comes to our roll calls, FOP meetings, goes on ridealongs, and actively participates with our officers in making Houston safer on a daily basis. We love our Mayor and he loves Houston. Can NYPD say the same thing about their Mayor? #EverythingIsBetterInTexas #HPDcareerdotcom

It was an honor to see former Congressman Kevin Brady at Houston City Council this morning. For years, Congressman Brady fought to eliminate the unfair Social Security provisions that penalized police officers and other public servants, repeatedly introducing legislation to correct the injustice. Although he retired from Congress before the Social Security Fairness Act finally became law, this fight was truly a labor of love for him. The Houston Police Officers’ Union is proud to thank and honor Congressman Brady for his years of persistence, leadership, and commitment to the men and women who serve our communities.

Our friend, Steven David, is stepping down as Mayor Whitmire’s Chief Operations Officer and transitioning into an advisory role on the Mayor’s team. The Houston Police Officers’ Union has had the privilege of working closely with Steven for several years. Throughout that time, he has always been accessible, responsive, and willing to assist whenever called upon. His professionalism and commitment to serving the City of Houston have made him a valued partner to our officers. While we’ll miss working with him in his current capacity, we look forward to continuing our strong relationship as he begins this new chapter. We wish Steven and his family nothing but the very best and thank him for his continued service to our city. Houston is better because of dedicated public servants like Steven David.

We were proud to represent the Houston Police Department today at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Candlelight Vigil in Washington, D.C. Police Week is a solemn reminder of the cost of this profession and the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities. We stand with the families, friends, and agencies of every fallen officer whose name is forever honored on the Memorial. To our HPD brothers and sisters we have lost, and to every officer across this country who never made it home, we remember you, we honor you, and we will never forget your sacrifice. We'll take it from here. #PoliceWeek #NeverForget #HPD #HPOU

HPOU PAC Votes Unanimously to Endorse Mayor John Whitmire for Reelection - The Houston Police Officers’ Union PAC is proud to announce its unanimous endorsement of Mayor John Whitmire for reelection. Since taking office, Mayor Whitmire has shown a real commitment to public safety, responsible leadership, and supporting the men and women who serve the City of Houston every day. Under his leadership, the city has taken important steps to improve services, restore stability at City Hall, and address long-standing challenges that have been ignored for too long. Mayor Whitmire understands that keeping Houston safe means supporting first responders, improving recruitment and retention, and ensuring officers have the tools, staffing, and resources needed to do the job. He has also shown a willingness to make tough decisions and take on the long-term issues facing our city instead of kicking the can down the road. HPOU stands with Mayor Whitmire because he stands with Houston police officers and the communities we proudly serve. We look forward to continuing to work together to keep Houston safe and moving in the right direction.

On the latest edition of “What’s Your Point?” Commentator @BillKingHouston raises the issue of “bait & switch” in regard to Council Member @salinasforhtx who ran on a platform of fixing streets, infrastructure, trash collection but once elected immediately pivoted to immigration policy. @FOX26Houston more at KRIV.Fox/wyp
