Community-funded Precinct 1 deputies dedicated to Houston Heights — faster response times, vacation watches, and a visible patrol presence year-round.

The Heights Constable Patrol program is a supplemental police force of currently four deputies hired to patrol the greater Heights area, including your neighborhood. All residents and business owners are strongly encouraged to participate, as the program, which benefits the entire neighborhood, is funded solely by paid subscriptions.

Program Overview

Under this program, each of the four deputies works 40 hours a week on staggered shifts, patrolling in marked cars for high visibility to help deter crime.

Additionally, they:
• answer alarms calls
• respond to HPD dispatch
• perform vacation watches
• complete free home security inspections for subscribers
• write tickets and make arrests
