The security contract that we had with Sheriff Garcia has been canceled. It became official on August 10, 2010 when the Harris County Commissioners Court approved a request by the Sheriff to eliminate the positions that were created by the contract. After having a presentation by Constable Walker of Precinct 7 (which covers our District boundaries) the Board voted to request a similar contract for 3 deputies from her office to patrol our neighborhoods. It has the 70-30 provision (presumes that the officers hired under the contract will be on patrol within the District 70% of the time and 30% patrolling the rest of Precinct 7) because this is the only contract that Harris County offers. Constable Walker said that we can count on upwards of 90% of the time our contracted deputies are on duty to actually be patrolling our neighborhoods.
Special thanks to CG Johnson and Dave King of Brunswick Meadows, and to Johanna Williams and several other Brunswick Lakes residents for coming to the Board meetings to represent the security concerns of their neighborhoods. I believe there was also a rep from Brunswick Place and I apologize for not knowing her name. CG and Johanna - please comment on this posting and provide the names of all those who volunteered their time to act as security liaisons. It was all of you who really made this happen!!!!!
