April 2026

Beat 9 is predominantly a residential area, with mostly single-family residences. There are two apartment complexes and an elementary school within Beat 9. The boundaries of Beat 9 are the BNSF railroad tracks along the eastern side, the Rosenberg city limits along the northern and western side, and FM 1640 along the southern side. This area is commonly known as Lamar Estates. 

During the month of April, I met with some neighbors in Lamar estates.

I first ran into Vladimir, who was outside doing yard work for his neighbor. His neighbor had some family matters going on and he was helping take care of his home. He also told me a new neighbor had moved in recently, which I later tried to stop by but was not able to meet him. I hope to meet the family soon and welcome them to our city and speak about any concerns.

Later on, while patrolling the area, I met Stephanie and Brenda who were walking with their children and pets. We talked about safety concerns in the area. Stephanie told me that recently her and her husband have been hearing a lot of gunshots coming from the apartments late in the evening. She then asked for advice on what to do if it keeps happening. I told her we are aware of the issue going on and we are trying to gather more information on the suspects but there are hardly any witnesses.

Brenda talked about traffic in the area and she mentioned the neighbors keep up with each ither on a neighborhood app.

I would like to mention that Lamar Dr is very dark at night due to the lack of street lamps. The area of Crestwood is also very dark, and it creates safety issues for neighbors.

I do not have any Registered Sex offenders in my beat.

Goals Accomplished:

This month was very eventful, I learned a lot and I hope I can use that knowledge in a useful manner.

Goals Next Month

 I want to interact with the youth of the community and make more contacts this upcoming month.
