Blue Star Program:
Does Your Apartment Have A Star? The Houston Police Department’s Blue Star Program is an innovative crime prevention program. Blue Star is a three-phase program designed to address crime concerns in multi-family housing communities.
The program starts with training for property owners, managers, leasing staff and other management personnel. Phase Two is a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) inspection, and the last phase is a “Safety Social” event to increase awareness and educate residents.
The Blue Star Program works when everyone on the property meets the program’s standards. If a criminal knows the community has rules and enforces them, he will be less likely to move into that community. This also leads to a more stable population and reduced turnover within the complex.
The Blue Star program is administered through the Houston Police Department. The program coordinator for the Greenspoint area is Officer Chuck Bertels, who can be reached at 281-405-5425. To reach the Houston Police Department’s website, visit www.houstontx.gov/police. |
