Important Reminders

Please mark your calendar for the end of the year HPD “Citywide PIP Service Awards” meeting on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 7 PM located at 1602 State St. Houston, Texas 77007.

Homer V. Rodriguez, a longtime resident and big supporter of our Eastside PIP will be recognized. The Citywide PIP awards citizens and business groups from all PIP patrol divisions within the city of Houston. The criteria of the awards will be awarded based on pro-active crime prevention assistance to each divisional PIP group. Homer will be presented a certificate by the Chief of Police Charles A. McClelland, Jr.

If you are interested in attending this event to support Homer, please let me know. Officer Trejo will make arrangements to provide transportation from the Eastside Patrol Station for those interested. I’ll follow-up again the week before the event.

Thank you,
Ramiro Fonseca
Eastside PIP Chair
