Initiatives
Looking forward, Adrian’s priorities for the Harris County Sheriff’s Department include:
- Cutting crime in all parts of the county through state of the art technology and innovative policing techniques
- Putting more officers on the streets by reducing the number of patrol vacancies within the department
- Improving security at our port through cooperation with federal and state authorities and employing better surveillance technology.
- Bringing new ideas to deal with jail overcrowding
- Bringing more transparency to how the Sheriff’s Department does business
- Maintaining the sheriff’s mental health task force to develop new ideas for dealing with mentally ill persons who are routinely cycled through our criminal justice system
