This detailed report was submitted to My Neighborhood News by Brian Rogers, HOA Board President for Georgetown Colony.

Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) deputies responded to 2688 calls for service in Harris County MUD No. 102 (District) during February 2026, according to the latest Activity Report. This marks a notable decrease from January 2026's 2334 calls, reflecting a higher overall call volume while proactive patrol activity remained strong throughout the District.

Deputies conducted 1498 contract checks in February, continuing a consistent visible patrol presence across the District’s residential streets, parks, schools, and commercial areas.

Parking Trends and What They Indicate

Parking Violations and Initiatives

Parking violations dropped significantly in January following enforcement efforts but rebounded sharply in February. This suggests that consistent enforcement is necessary to maintain compliance.

Vehicle Crime Trends and Community Impact

Vehicle Incidents and Suspicious Activity

Vehicle-related incidents increased in February, particularly stolen and burglarized vehicles. Suspicious vehicle reports remained high, indicating continued community vigilance- this is good; residents are still calling things in.

Weapons-Related Activity and HCSO Initiatives

Weapons-Related Calls

Weapons-related calls doubled from January to February, aligning with known incidents and reinforcing the need for continued patrols and community reporting along the bayou corridor.

Traffic Enforcement Trends and Speeding Concerns

Traffic Enforcement and Accidents

Traffic enforcement remained strong, with high levels of stops and a notable increase in citations. Accidents also rose in February, highlighting the importance of continued speed enforcement on key corridors like West Little York and Addicks-Satsuma.

Patrol Visibility and Resource Allocation

Patrol and Visibility Checks

Patrol presence remained high, with increases in contract and parking lot checks. Business checks declined, suggesting a shift in focus toward high-traffic and high-risk areas such as parking lots and bayou‑area concerns.

Theft & Other Crime Categories

February’s trend saw a notable increase in overall call volume, with theft-related categories showing the most significant spikes. Business theft (shoplifting) and other theft/burglary incidents rose sharply in February, indicating increased activity in commercial and residential areas.

Arrests declined from January, likely due to fewer major incidents rather than a reduction in enforcement efforts.

Traffic initiatives and stationary visibility increased, aligning with HCSO’s continued focus on visibility and speed control.

How Incidents Influenced February Statistics

February’s trends reflect the impact of several key incidents, including firearm discharges near Saddle Bred Drive, traffic stops leading to arrests, and increased theft activity. These events contributed to the spikes in weapons-related calls, citations, and theft reports.

What the Data Means for HCMUD 102

The data shows that HCSO’s enforcement efforts are effective but must be sustained. Parking and traffic violations respond quickly to enforcement, while weapons-related activity requires ongoing community vigilance and inter-agency coordination which is in progress at this time.

Patrol visibility remains a key deterrent. Residents are still reporting (suspicious vehicles/persons stable to slightly up), which is critical.

How These Trends Align With HCSO Initiatives

The February data strongly reflects HCSO’s ongoing initiatives across the district. The surge in parking violations after January’s dip reinforces the need for continued, visible enforcement and regular reminders to residents about parking rules. The sharp rise in weapons‑related calls supports the multi‑agency response now underway to address firearm discharge along the bayous, including increased patrol visibility and recommendations for cameras and motion lighting in bayou‑adjacent homes.

Meanwhile, higher citation counts and expanded traffic initiatives align with HCSO’s focus on speeding and reckless driving along key roadways, supported by the planned deployment of a radar speed trailer on Addicks-Satsuma Rd. Together, these trends show that enforcement efforts are targeted, responsive, and closely tied to the community’s most pressing concerns.
