KTRK-13’s ANDY CEROTA reports that crime is down in my neck of the woods (west Houston), and attributes the decline to added security cameras. They may be having some effect, but so may more active measures:
In addition to the mobile cameras and part-time security patrols, Westchase has hired four part-time investigators.
“They’ll actually review every report on those crimes that happen within the district’s boundaries, look for any leads, any trends, develop suspects,” said Mark Hubanek with the Westchase District.
In other words, Westchase has more boots on the ground in the form of a private security/investigation force. And it seems to be making a difference!
