Officer Ulrich reported that the number of BMV/TMV cases and burglary cases in Kingwood increased in July. However, the crime rates follow a basic pattern that is fairly consistent over the years. When asked how crime in Kingwood compares to other areas in Houston, the police officers agreed that Kingwood is one of the safest areas, even when including The Woodlands. However, they stated that they considered any crime is too much crime.

National Night Out will he celebrated in Kingwood October 5, 2010. All villages are encouraged to sponsor a neighborhood get together; Houston police officers will be available to attend and meet with residents. A kick-off Night Out event is scheduled for October 2.

Jessica Colon, representing Keep Houston Safe PAC made a presentation in support of intersection safety cameras.
