National Night Out is a program sponsored by HPD to join neighbors together in an effort to “Give Neighborhood Crime and Drugs a Going Away Party”.
Lazybrook has traditionally had neighbors gather to get to know each other and share fellowship and snacks.
Please talk to your neighbors and block captain to plan your event for this year.
If your block is hosting a party please let me know because HPD would like to stop by and visit with as many neighbors as possible.
Come and join the discussion! All are welcome to participate in the cultivation of our great neighborhood.

Houston Police Department Central Division Positive Interaction Program
GUEST SPEAKER:
Officer Charles P. Garmond
Crisis Intervention Team for Mental Health & Crime Prevention Specialist
About PIP
The Houston Police Department has had a Community Service Division since the Seventies. When a group of citizens requested a presentation on a crime prevention topic, they would send one of their officers to the group and advise them what they could do to keep from becoming crime victims again. This is proactive policing. In 1982, out of the patrol division came the idea that citizens also need to know more about their police department before a crime occurred in their neighborhood. From this idea came the concept of the Positive Interaction Program, “PIP.”
July 5th is the upcoming deadline for the printed newsletter. Please get your articles and any pictures to me by that time. If you cannot make the deadline, PLEASE email me to let me know so that I can save space for you in the layout.
Thanks
