On October 1, 2024, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office proudly participated in the annual National Night Out (NNO). Thousands of communities nationwide joined this initiative to build stronger relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Click here to view the photo gallery.
This year’s event was held in multiple neighborhoods throughout Harris County, where deputies and community members came together for an evening of fun, safety awareness, and connection. NNO fosters a unique opportunity for residents to meet their local law enforcement officers in a casual, friendly setting, promoting partnerships that enhance public safety.
From meet-and-greets with deputies to showcasing some of HCSO’s impressive vehicles and even bringing out the mounted patrol, each NNO celebration offered something unique. HCSO leadership and teammates made their way through various neighborhoods, greeting residents, answering questions, and participating in community festivities.
Community engagement is at the heart of what we do at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, and NNO allows us to strengthen the ties that keep our neighborhoods safe and united. We extend our gratitude to all the residents who participated, and we look forward to building even more connections during next year’s NNO events.
Thank you to everyone who made this year’s National Night Out a success. Together, we are making Harris County a safer, more connected community.
HCSO Stands Against Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a serious issue that affects many families in our community. Here at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, we are committed to protecting victims, holding abusers accountable, and offering help to those in need.
We collaborate with various local organizations that provide legal assistance, counseling, and other support services for survivors. We do our best to ensure that victims of domestic violence have access to the resources they need to feel safe and supported.
Domestic violence often happens behind closed doors, but by raising awareness and speaking up, we can help end the cycle of abuse. Our efforts aim to empower victims and connect them with the resources they need to take back control of their lives.
If you or someone you know is dealing with domestic violence, here are some safety tips:
- Make a Safety Plan: Plan a quick way to leave if needed. Know where you can go to be safe, and keep important items like documents, money, and extra keys in a place where you can grab them quickly.
- Stay Connected: Tell trusted friends, family, or neighbors about your situation. Always have a phone with you and set up a secret word with loved ones in case you need help.
- Document the Abuse: Keep a record of any incidents, including dates, times, and any injuries. This can be important if you decide to take legal action.
- Seek Help: Contact organizations like Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse (AVDA) for support. They can provide legal advice, emotional support, and other services to help you.
- Call 911 in an Emergency: If you are in immediate danger, call or text 911 right away.
We encourage anyone experiencing domestic violence to reach out for help. Our deputies are here to provide support. Together, we can stand up against domestic violence and make Harris County a safer place for everyone.
