Apartment crime index initiative still percolating downtown

Earlier in the week, KHOU-11’s Doug Miller reported on a crime “initiative” that is still floating around downtown:

[A] proposed apartment security ordinance would establish an index to identify high crime complexes.

The managers of those units would have to meet with police to come up with a crime reduction plan, possibly new fencing or lighting.

Complexes that don’t comply could face fines and courts injunctions.

They’ve been talking about this proposed ordinance at City Hall for months.

They have indeed. And we already knew quite a bit about it, because KRIV-26’s Isiah Carey was one of the first reporters in town talking about the proposed crime index, well over a month ago.

Carey’s going to be even harder for his competitors to keep up with now that his laptop’s repaired!
