Crime is up significantly. DAs Office refusing to prosecute "petty criminals" since jails are full, so cops are tired of turning guys in just to see them exit back onto the street. Also small drugs amounts are ignored now for the same reason. Response times to calls way up. Criminals are seeing this momentum and are more brazen. Likely they will not get caught. HPD morale lower than ever.

False
They're out serving no knock warrants for small amounts of drugs
Get plenty of range time and carry at all times.

Houston has become a f-ing clown show.
I've noticed an uptick in crime in Montrose, including a few gun-related robberies over the past month.
For a few years small crimes have not been prosecuted, so now the crimes are escalating.

A quick trip to the inflation calculator puts $445M in 2002 at $632M in today's dollars, just FYI.Gator03 said:

It's still a ~30% increase in budget for a 10% reduction in FTE's.
Is this increase just to cover pensions?
Speeding tickets bring in $$$. Taking Hector or Antwan downtown for slangin dime bags costs $$$.Broba Fett said:

I can't find the details but I'd imagine it's pension-driven.
The challenge for Houston is going to be maintaining basic law and order and infrastructure (roads!) as pension costs continue to grow and crowd everything else.

Yeah, I wasn't really trying to say it was good or bad, just throwing it out there to give some perspective.

Probably. And they're probably still underfunded/books cooked/underfunding in real time so the problem continues to grow until Chapter 9 happens.AgLiving06 said:

It's bigger than Art, but those that are responsible for this where in office before the Beto election.
Those new judges aren't the problem. (On this)
New county judge and new county commissioner aren't helping things.

What has the translator done in that regard?
The DA is the one this all starts with.

One thing I have learned recently from the news is I am staying far away from the strip clubs on 59S and driving down 59S in general. seems like every morning there's a shooting somewhere on 59S and a majority of time the fight started at a (strip) club close by.

Just gotta stick to the nice strip clubs...like Centerfolds or go to church.

He also bought new DA's in two other Texas counties in 2018.
He is just doing what Kraft should have done. Buy off the DAs in cities where you know you will frequent thai massages.
A big blame is on Kim Ogg. As expected, she is a lot more lenient when prosecuting perps
Kind of taking the long way around the barn to get a nut off.
But who are we to judge a hungarian *** billionaires MO.
