I'm deeply saddened to share that today we said goodbye to our beloved T-Rex. T-Rex patrolled Houston's streets beginning in 2015, bringing fugitives to justice even while battling bone cancer. Please keep his handler in your thoughts & prayers. T-Rex, you are an inspiration.

All of our first responders are special. Officer William “Bill” Jeffrey was the best of the best. He left a legacy with HPD that will never be forgotten. We ask for prayers for his wife, daughter and entire family. Also, please pray for Sgt Michael Vance and his family.
