HARRIS COUNTY FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE #39, 3130 NORTH FREEWAY, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77009, PH 713-652-2121
- A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION .FOR THE PROFESSIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
Harris County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 39
Press Release
2/13/2018
The Harris County Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 39 is disappointed that the Harris County Commissioner's Court has decided to turn its back on public safety for the citizens of Harris County. Your decision to spend an illogical amount of tax payer money on a building that is in complete disrepair, shows your lack of concern for public safety. One Hundred and five million dollars could be better used for all Harris County employees for pay raises, equipment or education that could help retain employees and recruit new employees easier.
The Texas Senate proposed a bill on March 29, for the taxpayers of Harris County to vote on the repurposing plan. In November of 2013 Harris County voters spoke out and rejected the proposed bond, to stop the spending of taxpayer dollars on the Astrodome. The Executive Board and members of the Harris County Fraternal Order of Police No. 39, strongly object to the decisions made today by our County Commissioners.
