Coverage Area

Where the patrol operates.

The Heights Constable Patrol covers the Houston Heights neighborhood — from 610 in the north down to White Oak Bayou in the south, and from N. Durham/ N. Shepherd on the west to N. Main St on the east.

The shaded area on the map shows the full patrol zone, covering Houston Heights and Greater Heights. Deputies assigned to this zone are focused exclusively on these streets — not spread across the wider precinct.

About the Program

Your neighbors fund your patrol.

The Heights Constable Patrol Program is a community-funded initiative that brings dedicated Harris County Precinct 1 deputies into Houston Heights. These are real law enforcement officers — not security guards — assigned specifically to patrol our neighborhood because Heights residents choose to fund them.

The program was established by the Houston Heights Association to supplement the standard city police coverage with a more visible, responsive, and neighborhood-focused law enforcement presence. The more subscribers, the more hours of dedicated patrol we can fund.

Subscribing isn't just about your property — it's about the whole neighborhood. Every subscription adds to the patrol budget that keeps deputies in the Heights.

"Support our community-funded Precinct 1 deputies for faster response times and home vacation watches."

What You Get

Subscriber benefits.

Faster Response Times

Dedicated deputies assigned to the Heights respond faster than standard city-wide coverage because they're already in your neighborhood.

Vacation Watch Service

Planning to be out of town? Submit a vacation watch request at least 2 weeks before you leave and deputies will make regular passes by your property while you're away.

Visible Patrol Presence

Regular marked patrol activity throughout the Heights creates a deterrent effect that benefits the entire neighborhood — subscribers and non-subscribers alike.

Direct Deputy Contact

Subscribers receive contact information for the assigned patrol deputy — a direct line to the officer covering your area.

Patrol Status Updates

Subscribers receive periodic updates on patrol activity, coverage hours, and any significant neighborhood safety developments.

Community Safety Network

As a subscriber you're part of a Heights-wide network. The more households participate, the stronger the program — and the safer the neighborhood for everyone.

Questions

Frequently asked about the patrol.

Do I have to be an HHA member to subscribe to the Constable Patrol?

No. The Constable Patrol subscription is separate from HHA household membership. Anyone in the Heights can subscribe, whether or not they are a general HHA member.

Who are the deputies assigned to the Heights?

The deputies are Harris County Precinct 1 Constable officers — fully certified law enforcement with the same authority as any other county law enforcement. They are assigned specifically to the Heights patrol through the HHA's funding agreement with the Precinct.

What area does the patrol cover?

The patrol covers the Houston Heights neighborhood, focusing on streets within the historic Heights boundaries. Coverage is concentrated in the areas with the highest subscriber density, which is another reason neighborhood-wide participation matters.

How do I request a vacation watch?

Active subscribers have access to the vacation watch request form through their My Account page. Submit your travel dates at least 2 weeks before your departure date.

When does my subscription renew?

Constable Patrol subscriptions renew annually. You'll receive a renewal reminder by email before your expiration date. You can manage your subscription through your My Account page.

Is this the same as calling 911?

No — in an emergency, always call 911. The Constable Patrol program is a proactive, community-funded patrol supplement. It does not replace 911 or Houston Police Department response. It adds dedicated patrol time and faster response for non-emergency situations.
