Mounted Patrol

The Mounted Patrol Detail has established itself as an undeniable asset to the Houston Police Department and the community we serve. The Unit is an invaluable tool in crowd control and public relations.
We recently showcased one of our finest Mounted Patrol Officers. Officer Ron Curry and his partner Hershel, currently help keep our streets safe. You may see them downtown on any given day. Stop by and give his partner Hershel, a pet on the nose and say hello to Officer Curry.
Does riding a horse for a living sound appealing to you?
Not to sound like "I'm beating a dead horse" (no pun intended) but we are hiring! Apply online today and work your way to the Mounted Patrol.

Crime Scene Unit

Everyone always asks about the Crime Scene Unit (TV watchers might know it as CSI). This is a very tight group of officers that work hand in hand to solve a case. They are part of the Homicide Division. This is a very interesting and unique job within the police department. After you patrol the streets for a couple of years, maybe you can become part of "CSI Houston". Apply today at http://www.hpdcareer.com/ and start your career toward this goal or one of the many other positions within the Houston Police Department.

Why Houston? (click play and find out)
Some people ask me why they should join the Houston Police Department instead of a different, maybe smaller department. With a large department like HPD, you can find your niche here. Whatever you are good at, whatever you like, whatever your hobbies are, there is sure to be something within the Houston Police Department that will fit YOU. Whether it be patrol (I loved by the way), homicide, horses, computers, bikes, etc... you get the picture, you have the opportunities to explore within HPD. Everyday is different. One day you may catch a thief, the next day you may return a lost child to her mother. Each day will give you the chance to make a difference.
How many careers give you that chance?

Out Recruiting!
Quick story. Chasing a suspect, jumping fences, keeping up. Jump final fence and see a large dog house, no suspect. Where's suspect? Start approach to next fence to see if suspect was still on the run. Large dog begins to growl from doghouse. Freeze in my tracks. Sounds like a strange growl. Proceed, really want to catch suspect. Growl gets louder. Not right...sounds weird. Look in doghouse. Suspect under a blanket, not sure where real dog is. Suspect captured. Memory of this story, priceless.
