Acevedo says cooperation key to combating Houstonโs rise in violent crime
HOUSTON โ Houston police Chief Art Acevedo said Wednesday that cooperation between law enforcement agencies and the public is the key to fighting the cityโs rise in violent crime. Less than a month into 2021, Houston homicide detectives are already investigating 30 cases as of Wednesday morning, according to Acevedo. โI was actually on the phone with the San Antonio police chief this morning,โ Acevedo said. โIt would be very helpful, instead of the rhetoric, that the state patrol all freeways in the state of Texas,โ Acevedo said. Acevedo said more funding from the federal government will also aid crime-fighting efforts in cities left cash-strapped by the coronavirus pandemic.
