Green Campaign Update...

Green in the Community    Larry Green has been busy over the past couple of weeks! He has attended numerous District K neighborhood, community, and civic club meetings. You also may have seen him knocking on doors and talking to District K residents. This past Saturday, Green participated in the Grads Within Green joined Madison HS students for the Grads Within Reach Walk Reach Walk to re-enroll students who had not returned to Madison High School this academic year. As a 1983 graduate of Madison, Green feels a particular responsibility to encourage the dropouts from his former high school to return and graduate. As he talked to students in the Hiram Clarke and Windsor Village areas, he met many who were glad to see someone from their own neighborhood encouraging them to complete their education. Immediately following the Grads walk, Green took to the streets of District K to campaign, shaking hands with every person he met. He answered questions about the newly created district and issues of importance to the community, and assured residents  of his commitment to serving all of District K. Green meets supporters on the campaign trail.

Green on the Issues: Safe Neighborhoods

Green on the Issues: Safe Neighborhoods 

Residents should never feel fear in their own neighborhoods. As your City Council Member, protecting public safety in District K neighborhoods will be one of my highest priorities. We must be more proactive in addressing crime prevention and response strategies. According to the City of Houston website, there were 166 burglaries and 68 aggravated assaults in our community, just in the month of June. I want to empower District K residents to feel safe in their community, by taking a proactive approach in keeping our neighborhoods out of harm's way.  

The first step in keeping our neighborhoods safe is more community-based policing. This would include putting more police officers on the streets, but also building trust between police and the residents of the community. I propose putting another HPD substation in the district to create an increased presence in our neighborhoods that will cut down on crime. Having an additional substation, which is the equivalent of a mini-precinct, would give HPD another base of operations in the District K area, and facilitate relationship building with residents.

To combat the high number of burglaries taking place, I suggest a Burglary Prevention Seminar. The seminar should focus on how to properly secure your residence or business, making sure your property is less susceptible to crime, and working with police to help secure your neighborhood.  

In addition, District K needs increased general neighborhood programs, as well as programs for children, women and the elderly. I recommend creating more before- and after-school programs to keep kids off of the streets and out of trouble. I would also leverage the potential of our community parks in crime prevention. Good park programs are more than just a fun diversion for our residents, and especially our youth -they are also effective anti-crime programs.  

 

As District K residents, it is up to us to be active when it comes to combating crime and violence in our neighborhoods. That means responding immediately to neighborhood disruptions, and promptly reporting criminal conduct and behavior. Working with the police, we can create more effective Citizen Patrol Programs and come together to deter crime in our community.
