Is cooperation between HPD and ICE affecting HPD’s crime reporting? It seems that it is, maybe that is how Whitmire is going to show that crime is going down: work with ICE so fewer crimes get reported. I believe he will also find that HPD’s very low crime-solving rate will go down.
There were 414 more crimes reported in 2024 in the Gulton area than there were in 2025. The time frame is from January 1 to September 30. HPD crime stats for 2025 only go up on September 30th.
In 2024, 239 aggravated assaults were reported; in 2025, 177.
Murders don’t appear in the monthly reports, and if they do, I’m not sure how they’re categorized.
One of the best maps that indicates where crimes occur is here. That is a nationwide map.
