Inaugural Event to raise money to fund special programs, officer safety, training, equipment and new technology for the Houston Police Department.
  • Quick Clot Program - Life-saving tool for all officers who arrive on the scene and find a victim bleeding from an accident or gunshot wound.   QuickClot" is designed to stop heavy, uncontrolled bleeding. It does this by "absorbing all the liquid in the blood, and leaving behind the clotting factors." 

  • Accident Investigation Equipment - high tech gear to reconstruct accident crashes - clear the roadway faster after accidents.

  • Provide training programs, such as construction of a tactical village to help officers learn through life-like exercises.  The village will allow our officers to train in shoot/no shoot recognition.  It will also let them train with other local, federal and state agencies to facilitate a better coordination in the event of natural disasters or terrorist attacks.

  • Purchase driving simulation computers to improve officers' driving skills during high speed chases.  It will be coupled with "live" training of a similar nature.

  • Funding for technology such as mobile data computer systems to provide on-the-scene data access for field officers. 

  • Procure a records management system to facilitate file and data sharing among various criminal justice agencies.

  • Supplying interactive transmission of suspect photos, missing children and Amber Alert bulletins.
