Houston Police Leaving Pass/Fail Grades On Windshields At The Airport

Recommended Posts

Houston police officers have a message for airport travelers: have a

good trip, but don’t forget to lock your vehicles and hide your

valuables.

“Criminals are looking for easy targets such as unlocked vehicles

and valuable items they can see before they break in,” said HPD

Lieutenant Jerry Kiker.

Several times during March, police officers from the HPD Airport

Division distributed theft reduction report cards on motorists’

windshields, giving them pass or fail grades as to whether they left

vehicle doors unlocked, windows opened or cracked, and if valuables were

in plain view.

“I’ve been at the airport a long time,” said Lieutenant Kiker.

“I believe it’s one of the safest places to be, but almost

anywhere in the city where there are a lot of vehicles left unattended,

there is a possibility of a burglary occurring. We’re trying to do

what we can to prevent that,” he said.

Burglaries of Motor Vehicles (BMVs) are among the most easily

preventable of crimes. Citizens are encouraged to lock their vehicles

and hide their belongings to remove any temptation to would-be thieves.

“We want everyone to secure their property, so they don’t become

victims of crime,” said Lieutenant Kiker.

The effort is part of the Houston Police Department’s ongoing March

on Crime Campaign. Working together, Houston police and the public can

help “Keep Houston Safe.”
