Constable Herman Urges Residents To Avoid Illegal Celebratory Gunfire This New Year
Celebratory gunfire is a common problem in many cities, particularly over the New Year celebration.
Sadly, it often has tragic results when innocent people are hit by the stray bullets and are injured or killed.
The reality is that any bullet discharged from a gun, even into the sky, must land somewhere, and when it does, the risk of injury or death is significant.
Constable Mark Herman’s Office is committed to a policy of zero tolerance of illegal gun use and to combating gun violence in the community.
Their mission is to protect the quality of life for all residents by creating an environment of enhanced safety and security.
During the upcoming holiday period, Precinct 4 will be deploying patrol officers in specific areas that have the highest amount of illegal celebratory gunfire and fireworks activity in the recent years.
Constable Deputies will arrest anyone caught discharging a firearm in public.
As usual, officers will be deployed throughout Harris County to maintain the peace, prevent crime and violence, and arrest drunk drivers.
