Investigation into Humble PD continues as chief remains on unpaid leave; expenses revealed by city

In December, 2 Investigates was the first to report on problems within the City of Humble’s Police Department. Since our initial report on an employee survey critical of department leadership, Police Chief Dan Zientek has been placed on administrative leave with pay. That status was later changed to administrative leave without pay. Leadership within the City of Humble and its police department has declined to speak with 2 Investigates on camera, citing an ongoing investigation being conducted by an outside law firm. Outside police headquarters Monday, we did find one long-time resident willing to speak out. “I am concerned because I do feel vulnerable,” said Kathy, responding to what she has learned about problems inside the police department — including nearly 30 officers who have left over the last three years.
