See Something, Say Something: How Harvest Bend Residents Can Help Deter Crime in the Neighborhood
It might start as a knock at the door you weren’t expecting. Or a stranger slowly circling the block in a car. Maybe it’s an open gate at a neighbor’s home you know is out of town. Small signs that something’s off—subtle cues that, when reported, could be the thread that unravels a crime before it’s ever committed.
For residents of Harvest Bend, those gut feelings matter. That’s the message behind the “See Something, Say Something” initiative, backed by Harris County Constable Precinct 4, your local constable's office. In a community as close-knit and observant as Harvest Bend, every watchful eye helps build a stronger line of defense against crime.
Your Instincts Aren’t Just Valid—They’re Vital
Constable Mark Herman’s office encourages residents to speak up, no matter how minor an incident may seem at first glance. Often, what appears insignificant could be part of a larger pattern investigators are tracking.
So what should spark a call?
- A solicitor who lingers on porches but never leaves a flyer.
- Someone peering into parked cars or testing door handles.
- A package thief in action—or evidence that one has struck.
- Sudden loud noises, like shattering glass or forced entry.
- Unknown vehicles repeatedly circling the same block.
Whether it’s day or night, if something feels off, Constable Precinct 4 wants to hear about it.

Know Who to Call—and When
- For emergencies—when lives or property are at immediate risk—dial 911 without hesitation.
- For non-emergency but suspicious activity, contact Harris County Constable Precinct 4 Dispatch at 281-376-3472. The line is staffed 24 hours a day.
You can also use their digital tool, the C4 NOW app, to get real-time alerts, submit tips, and stay informed on safety issues in your neighborhood. It’s available on both Android and iOS platforms and is one of the best ways to stay connected with your constable’s office.
Remember, mentioning safety concerns on social media is not equivalent to calling local law enforcement. While it's helpful to communicate with neighbors about your concerns, the first and most effective step is calling the constable's office when you suspect something is not right in your neighborhood.

It's Not Just About Crime—It's About Connection
The philosophy behind "See Something, Say Something" is more than just a crime-stopper—it’s a community-builder. When neighbors watch out for one another, report what they notice, and work hand-in-hand with law enforcement, they create a neighborhood that feels secure, respected, and connected.
Constable Precinct 4 doesn’t just respond—they listen. Your calls help shape patrol routes, trigger investigations, and sometimes even save lives. Harvest Bend’s sense of vigilance could be its greatest asset in your community.
Small Acts of Awareness, Big Waves of Impact
There’s power in paying attention. And there’s even greater power in acting on what you notice. Whether you’re taking an early morning walk, watching kids play on the cul-de-sac, or simply gazing out your window—you are the frontline.
Stay alert. Trust your instincts. And don’t hesitate to reach out. Because in Harvest Bend, safety isn’t just the job of the badge—it’s the responsibility of us all.
