In the many years I’ve known him, he has always conducted himself with professionalism and courtesy. His steady demeanor has been a model for others to follow.
I also want to express my gratitude to Acting Chief Larry Satterwhite for his willingness to help lead the department through its challenges. I believe Chief Satterwhite, who I have known for a long time, has the knowledge and experience to provide a steady hand as we move forward. During my time as Houston City Council Member, At-Large Position 1, Chief Satterwhite has been a help and a resource as I have worked on public safety issues.
