Chief Hurtt’s blog is officially open for business. Here’s the announcement from HPD:
Houston Police Chief Harold L. Hurtt is now a blogger! Recognizing the need for a quick, informal way to communicate with the Houston residents he serves, Chief Hurtt has started an online weblog (often referred to as a “blog”) in order to keep you informed of department initiatives, goals, and activities.

In his first post, Chief Hurtt said, “I’m hoping to use this forum as a tool to let you see some of the ‘behind the scenes’ good work done by the men and women of the Houston Police Department * the kinds of things you aren’t likely to see on the news.” He also encouraged Houstonians to learn more about helping the department “Keep Houston Safe,” and to serve their community by taking advantage of some of the many volunteer programs offered by HPD.
Chief Hurtt will be updating the blog on a regular basis. We encourage you to let your viewers and readers know about it, perhaps by including links to it from your own Web site.
Here is an excerpt from the Chief’s first post (dated November 7):
