COH - Harris County Joint law enforcement central processing center

[trymahjong]

from Ellen Cohen's enewsletter

Council approved an interlocal agreement between the City of Houston and Harris County for the purpose of designing a new joint law enforcement central processing center. While the Houston Police Department and the County Sheriff's office each currently operate separate processing centers, the new central facility will allow both entities to reduce costs and increase efficiency by reducing unnecessary duplication of functions. As part of the agreement, the City will be responsible for 30% of the cost of each phase, and the County will be responsible for 70%. The proposal for a joint law enforcement processing center was approved by voters in a November 2013 bond referendum.
