Sheriff Interactive Group Luncheon
Date: Wednesday, March 14, 2001

• Sheriff Tommy Thomas started the SIG meetings as an opportunity for area residents to become knowledgeable about law enforcement activities taking place in their area and to meet the Sheriff’s Deputies responsible for providing police protection. These meetings are very successful in allowing individuals who might not otherwise have an opportunity to talk one-on-one with Sheriff Department Management. Plus, this is a great opportunity to learn directly from those who provide your police protection what type of crime is taking place and how to combat this type of crime during our question and answer session. Perhaps you have a traffic concern you want to bring to the attention of the Sheriff’s Department, here is the perfect place to start an on-going discussion toward resolving that problem.
• Mr. Larry Lipton, Chairman-elect of the Crime Awareness Committee of the Houston NW Chamber of Commerce will be speaking on how community involvement reduces crime in a community.
• Knowledge is one of the best defenses against criminal activity. If a community has knowledge of what types of crime are most active in an area, then there is an opportunity to fight back. Sheriff Thomas believes strongly in pro-active policing as a crime fighting tool. Please join the Sheriff’s Department as they strive to keep your community a wonderful place to live and raise a family. Together we can make a difference.
• Questions, call Karen Lightfoot at 281-376-2997, District One Harris County Sheriff’s Department. Sponsor is the Northwest Security Coordinator’s Association, which was started in 1985 to provide accurate information to Security Coordinators so they may educate their residents.
