Our partnership with Career and Recovery through the Employ2Empower (E2E) program continues to make a meaningful impact in our community. This week alone, participants have been hard at work cleaning parks across multiple precincts, assisting at the Houston Food Bank, and participating in training days focused on workforce development and community resources.

E2E is a well-established program designed to empower individuals experiencing housing instability by providing structured work opportunities, skill development, and access to supportive services. The mission is clear—help participants rebuild stability, gain employment experience, and successfully transition back into the workforce.

When public safety agencies and community partners collaborate effectively, the results speak for themselves: stronger neighborhoods, restored dignity, and real pathways to long-term success.

Huge thank you to the Police Executive Research Forum for hosting an outstanding ICAT Conference.

Harris County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Gomez had the opportunity to present on our ICAT program, sharing our implementation strategies, challenges, and key lessons learned along the way. It was a great platform to highlight how intentional training, leadership buy-in, and consistency can make ICAT effective and sustainable.

The conference featured outstanding presentations focused on de-escalation training and addressing skill decay—critical components in ensuring officers retain and apply these skills in real-world situations.

Events like this are essential as we continue working collaboratively to strengthen training, improve outcomes, and better serve our communities through safer, more effective responses.

Our Harris County Sheriff's Office Homeless Outreach Team, working alongside our Community Problem Oriented Policing (CPOP) Unit, partnered with a local property owner to support cleanup efforts and provide compassionate outreach in the Cypress Station / FM 1960 corridor.

During the cleanup, deputies made contact with individuals experiencing homelessness, helped connect them to essential services, and shared information about support resources ranging from shelter to mental health assistance. This collaborative effort helps improve safety, reduce environmental hazards, and—most importantly—ensures that vulnerable members of our community are treated with dignity and care.

We’re proud of the strong partnerships forming between businesses, property owners, and our Neighborhood Policing Division as we work toward long-term solutions that benefit everyone.

Our newest Harris County Sheriff's Office Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) Deputy is already out in the field making an impact! 👏

Today, she responded to a call involving an individual in a possible behavioral health crisis. Working alongside her clinician partner from The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD, she helped ensure the individual received the proper care, support, and follow-up resources — a great example of how law enforcement and behavioral health professionals work together to improve outcomes in our community.

We’re excited to see her continue learning, growing, and serving through the CIRT program. 🌟

By working proactively with our community partners, we aim to create safer spaces for everyone who lives, works, and worships in Harris County.

This morning, our Harris County Sheriff's Office Homeless Outreach Team partnered with Harris County Flood Control District to connect with individuals experiencing homelessness along the bayou areas in the Bluebell area of District 1.

These locations can be extremely dangerous due to rising water levels, erosion, and limited accessibility. By working together, we are able to improve safety, offer resources, and help individuals transition to safer environments and supportive services.

Thank you to our partners for their continued collaboration and commitment to community well-being. For more information please visit www.harriscountyso.org or www.harriscountycit.org .
