City of Houston District D News and Information
City Council Member Carolyn Evans-Shabazz
Operating as usual
Huge thanks to Commander C. L. Johnson of the @houstonpolice South Central Patrol Division for bringing joy and cheer to children in Third Ward and South Union for Christmas🎄.
Inspite of COVID-19 there's still a lot of joy in District D.
This year due to COVID19 many of us have planned to celebrate the holiday season quietly amongst our loved ones.
And as we remain snuggled away from the world around the fireplace; I'd like to take this moment to wish District D residents and all Houstonians a happy holiday season.

Make sure you’re asking the right questions if you want the right information. One thing I’ve learned overtime dealing with people is not about asking what made them successful, but more so focusing on their “wrongs”. That’s where all the real secrets live at for the next wave of success and prosperity.

#Repost from @houstonmayor ... Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 29, Houston Police officers will be able to issue citations instead of arresting individuals for certain Class A and Class B misdemeanors. I signed Executive Order No. 1-68 Monday afternoon, authorizing the City of Houston to join Harris County's Cite and Release Program. The Cite and Release policy is expected to help reduce the jail population for non-violent offenders, reduce the amount of time police officers spend on jail processing procedures, and improve response times by getting officers back into service more quickly. The following Class A and B misdemeanors are eligible for tickets instead of jail time: 1. Possession of a controlled substance, if the controlled substance is four ounces or less 2. Criminal Mischief, if the amount of pecuniary loss is $100 or more but less than $750 3. Graffiti, if the amount of pecuniary loss is $100 or more but less than $2500 4. Theft, if the value of the property stolen is $100 or more but less than $750 5. Theft of Service, if the value of the service stolen is $100 or more but less than $750 6. Contraband in a Correctional Facility, if the offense is a Class B misdemeanor 7. Driving with an invalid license "Cite and Release is a more humane way to handle low-level offenders because the program allows them to face responsibility for their actions without the stain of an arrest or serving jail time. It is the equivalent of being given a second chance on the spot, as long as the suspected offender meets the requirements for Cite and Release and complies with the rules." The Houston Police Department's Class C Policy is currently being revised in consideration of the new Cite and Release policy. "This is not a matter of getting soft on crime. It's about getting smart on crime," Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said. "The Cite and Release program is a long time coming and long overdue. It is something we are very proud to implement." The Executive Order also clari
