3. REPORTS
a. Presentation of the Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District Street Crime

reports.
Police Chief John Stringer opened agenda item 3.a by stating that the report before the board has
been changed to reflect the funding changes of the Board and he continued by presented an
overview of capital items for the Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) and
statistical reports for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025 (October -November 2024), as well as
the Baytown Police Department Crime and Crash Data for Calendar Year 2024. (Exhibit A)
Director David Start, Jr. asked for clarification on items for cleared crimes for the Fiscal Year
2025 being down slightly in comparison to previous quarter and Chief Stringer stated that there
were several criminal cases that required all staff to be on hand that did tie up personnel, and that
they are currently down to one investigator who is specialized in property crimes. However, they
are looking into this to ensure that the numbers are correct and that some of the numbers will be
adjusted in the next quarter.
Director Charles Eugene Murrell asked what happens to firearms that are collected and Chief
Stringer responded that some are returned to their owner and in other instances they are ordered
to be destroyed if their case is adjudicated.
President Nicholas Rice stated that there is talk on social media that Baytown's crime rate is 87%
higher than the national average and asked if this was true. Chief Stringer responded that he is
not aware of the current national average but that Baytown is in the upper 50th percentile in
Harris County, which is not the highest, but that they are working on addressing that and that
their goal is to be one of the safest City in Harris County. Further Chief Stringer cautioned where
the information came from and how the data was soused and that the reports provided by
Baytown are done by our Intelligent Analysis who has been an Intel Analysis with the United
States Maine Core and the Federal Government, and is highly qualified at what he does. In
conclusion Chief Stringer thanked the Board Members for their service to the Board and
Community.
