Constable Patrol

 

About The Constable Patrol

Since 2011, Woodland Heights Civic Association has administered a Constable Patrol Program, serviced by Harris County Precinct One. Our Constable Patrol Program is a supplemental police force, currently two deputies, hired to patrol our neighborhood for two 40-hour shifts per week.

The program is funded solely by paid subscriptions. Please help us sustain both of our patrol shifts and encourage your neighbors to join — the more members we have, the more patrol coverage we can support.


General Program Details

The boundaries of the Program are the defined areas shown in the map. Each deputy patrols the neighborhood 40 hours/week on different shifts in a marked car to deter crime throughout the neighborhood. They also answer alarm calls, respond to HPD dispatch requests, perform vacation watches and free home security inspections for subscribers, and perform general law enforcement activities such as write tickets/make arrests, etc.  

In addition to the benefit of increased law enforcement presence throughout the neighborhood, the program provides benefits to subscribers, such as:

Vacation checks;
Home security checks; and
Email crime alerts through the Nextdoor forum private group for Constable Program members.
The Precinct One Constable Dispatch number is available to contact (713-755-7628) or alert our deputies via the Constable’s Office, though we recommend calling 911 for crimes in progress.


Constable Patrol (AUTO-RENEWING)

The program is funded solely by paid subscriptions. Please help us sustain both of our patrol shifts and encourage your neighbors to join — the more members we have, the more patrol coverage we can support.
For your convenience, your Constable Patrol membership will automatically be renewed on the anniversary of your enrollment. Constable Patrol supporters with auto-renewing membership can log into the web site to alter their membership or payment method at any time.

Bridging the Funding Gap for Constable Patrol

Our Constable Patrol Program is an essential service that operates at a deficit, meaning the costs to maintain it exceed the funds we currently receive from subscriptions. To sustain and enhance the patrol coverage, a specific number of households need to contribute.

Your support is crucial not only to continue providing these important security services but also to ensure that every street and home in our neighborhood remains safe. Join us in funding the Constable Patrol to close the funding gap and maintain the security and peace of our community.
