3. REPORTS
a. Presentation of the Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District Street Crime
Unit, Traffic Management Team, and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE) statistical
reports.
Police Chief John Stringer opened the item and drew the CCPD Board's attention to the fact that,
at the first of the year, the Baytown Police Department (BPD) had been reorganized to include a
Special Investigations Division. Chief Stringer explained that was to focus their efforts on making
the streets of Baytown safer by further focusing on organized criminal activity. Thus, the Street
Crimes Unit had been reassigned to that Division and, especially in the month of June, their
numbers had gone up in spite of a few absences for varying reasons. Moreover, the presented
statistics occurred in Baytown neighborhoods. The uniformed officers of the Special Investigations
Division were focused on neighborhood enforcement in regards to violent crimes, narcotic
transactions, etc. Chief Stringer shared their most recent search warrant on Stowe Street regarding
a previous shoot-out between rival gangs. The Street Crimes Unit played a big part in the service
of that search warrant and residents of the area reached out to the Unit to express their appreciation.
Chief Stringer relayed that would be the type of statistics the Board would see from the Unit.
On the Traffic Management Team and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE) Unit statistics,
Chief Stringer addressed that absences caused a variation in their numbers. Nevertheless, they
made a significant impact on criminal activity as the vehicles the Team and Unit were stopping
continued to have higher incidents of discovering individuals with felonies, warrants, narcotics,
and firearms in their vehicles. President Wheeler questioned if there were only two assigned
officers to Traffic Management. Chief Stringer responded there were three, but BPD had combined
the Team with the CVE so they were all under the same sergeant. The response curtailed into the
Chief addressing recruitment as their goals was to expand their units, such as having a Driving
While Intoxicated (DWI) task force under Traffic Management.
