See Something, Say Something: How Inwood Park 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 Inwood Park, 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 Inwood Park, 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.
