I'm deeply saddened to share that today we said goodbye to our beloved T-Rex. T-Rex patrolled Houston's streets beginning in 2015, bringing fugitives to justice even while battling bone cancer. Please keep his handler in your thoughts & prayers. T-Rex, you are an inspiration.

@UTPoliceHouston Very proud to join an amazing team of public safety professionals @UTPoliceHouston Looking forward to accomplishing great things together and thanks for the warm welcome.

Officially sworn in this week by Assistant Chief Paul Cross, we welcome @MattSlinkard as our new Assistant Chief, Converged Threat/Risk Protection & Investigations. Welcome to the team!
