To realize this vision, we are launching the #OneSafeHouston crime reduction initiative, which focuses on four key areas: o Violence Reduction and Crime Prevention o Crisis Response Teams o Youth Outreach Opportunities o Key Community Partnerships #hounews — PolitiTweet.org

Police officers cannot do it alone and it is important that we give them the tools to work with and join them in creating a comprehensive and holistic approach to combat violent crime. #hounews — PolitiTweet.org

As I said at on the day the three officers were shot last week, we are living in inherently dangerous time. And it’s going to take all of us working together to keep our city safe.  #hounews — PolitiTweet.org

It is understandable that many in our community are frightened and outraged because these violent crimes shock the conscious of our city and shake the foundation of a city that is known as a safe place to live, work and raise a family. #hounews — PolitiTweet.org

The gunman, who was wanted on a felony warrant at the time of the shooting, was not concerned about the lives of law enforcement or the families living nearby. #hounews — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s be clear, violent crime is a public health crisis made worse by the pandemic and too many guns on our streets. — PolitiTweet.org

Since the beginning of the year, our city has felt anything but safe. At times, we have felt like a city under siege because of a violent crime wave that is sweeping across the country and impacting us in Houston.  #hounews — PolitiTweet.org

Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner

Houstonians, it is time to take our city back. Every Houstonian deserves to feel safe. Safe at home. Safe at work. Safe while driving down the street. Safe while shopping and safe with their families in our parks. #hounews — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, the increase in homicides during the first month of 2022 including assaults on police officers and citizens is a sobering reminder that we must collectively strive for excellence as a community to combat our increasing crime challenges. #hounews — PolitiTweet.org

Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner

As your mayor, it is my responsibility to focus on our city. Last year, we launched a Violent Crime Initiative that resulted in the reduction of crime in many identified hot spots. By the end of the initiative, all violent crime categories were reduced except homicide. #houmews — PolitiTweet.org
