Security











Security Patrol

For the past several years, Winlow Place has contracted with the Harris County Precinct One Constable office (through the Upper Kirby District) to patrol Winlow Place 24/7. This service was discontinued in the last quarter of 2005 due to an unsustainable increase in price levied by the Upper Kirby District.The Winlow Place Civic Club has explored other avenues to re-activate the patrol with no success.

Currently, our best deterrent to crime in our neighborhood is vigilance and communication. Report any suspicious activity to your block captain. We will in turn make our neighbors aware of the activity through reporting in the newsletter and email broadcast. We will also make the HPD and the district One Constables offices aware of suspected or actual criminal activity in our neighborhood.

Crime Stats

The HPD and Harris County Constable's office compile crime stats individually. HPD posts Each month's stats around the 25th of the following month. The following links to the HPD stats:

Incident
12/26/08 Kipling and Hazard Gang Activity- "I saw a young guy get out of a car full of people to spray paint my neighbor's fence (Kipling and Hazard) tonight with the tag "SWC". This stands for Southwest Cholos, a well known Houston gang. While they are not based near our neighborhood I have read that they are dangerous. I called the police and they patrolled the area tonight. A report has been filed. Motion lighting and/or security cameras would perhaps deter these criminals from continuing to disrupt our property. I have also had my car broken into in my own driveway but it was unlocked and nothing was stolen. Everyone should be aware of their surroundings during these very vulnerable holiday times.
