Update to carjacking: @HCSOTexas units responded to a carjacking at 14485 Bellaire Blvd. An Uber driver had given a ride to two persons. The persons asked the driver to stop at a location short of the destination. They displayed a firearm, robbed the driver, and stole his car.
With an assist from HPD, they spotted the car near Voss/Westheimer. After a brief pursuit, suspects crashed the vehicle in an apt complex at 9800 blk of Meadowglen & evaded arrest on foot. Three suspects were detained with assistance by DPS air support. The male suspects are
18, 17, 14. For now, HPD is filing charges related to the evading aspects of the arrest. Our follow-up related to the initial carjacking remains on-going. Great work by all! #HouNews

A common suggestion is that having defendants in jail during a pandemic may actually be safer: isolated & can be quarantine. I want to share some thoughts regarding the challenge: (1)-it’s impossible to practice social distancing and heightened hygiene when 8,000 people are
detained in a close space. #COVID19 is extremely contagious and spreads through the air and from contaminated surfaces. When one person tests positive, there will be dozens more within a day or two. If even 20% of the jail population is infected, and that is a conservative
estimate, it will overwhelm the jail’s limited resources. (2)-we do not have the space or facilities to adequately quarantine people who test positive, nor do we have the medical facilities to respond to a serious case of #COVID19. Anyone who requires hospitalization, as 10% of

This individual had the means to post a bond. Research shows that when cash is the primary determinant on who gets in and out of jail, it doesn’t make us safer. Decisions should be guided by effectively assessing “risk” and research. With money involved, too many folks that may
not be a high risk, sit in jail, while high risk offenders can pay their way out of jail. This is why we should move to an “intentional system of detention”; we currently do not have that. Nobody wants any defendant to be released pretrial only to further their criminal careers
while we are trying them for any particular charge. In a model bail system, based on intentionality, such a person would likely be held without bail period. But when we look at the details, we see that it is not so easy simply because TX is currently in-between systems. I

IMO, we need increased dialogue to address the impacts of a traumatized society. Pause for a moment and reflect on this: the vast majority of us are walking around with some form of trauma. We have lived through events that have traumatized in unimaginable ways.
Mass killings, natural disasters, attacks in schools and places of worship. Inner-city violence and the 90,000 children in our county each year that have a patent locked up in our local jail. Certain films now require increased police presence.
Do you think survivors in El Paso might be harboring some trauma? What about our first responders that experience firsthand traumatic and horrifying incidents daily? Surely there’s an impact to our collective psyche. I don’t have the answers, but perhaps we start today on
