Houston Police Department Central Division Positive Interaction Program

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.”

It is time to re-train/re-certify all of our neighborhood patrollers and train anyone wanting to join. We are having a class on Thursday June 16, 2011 at 6:00 PM at Lazybrook Baptist Church. Please spread the word to anyone that you think might be interested. I need to get a rough head count so please RSVP to Lazybrook.security@gmail.com or call me at 713-864-2823.

Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary, this is a great way to help insure the continued safety of our wonderful neighborhood.

Thank you for your continued support!
