Pictures

I'm wary of adding pictures unless I've taken them myself. Don't want to infringe upon any copyrights. Anyone want to help beef up this article with some pictures? Or just help beef it up, period?

Here are 3 options, I'm not sure which one to use. The location of the building makes it difficult to take a "clean" picture. Image 1 Image 2Image 3

I might have some photos in my archive that might be relevant, but I think it needs to be cleaned up a bit more. I don't have much additional information to add, though. I'll add it to my list for this week. --Hourick 14:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC) Done! --Hourick 15:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

housed the logo with some relevant data on the right side in a box. Don't have additional information to put in. Perhaps cut down on the division list and make it's own page? It just adds clutter. Would like more detailed history.

Now that HPD Lab controversy is winding down should that be repositioned in the page?--Hourick 17:56, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned out dead links, citizens against safe clear's website is dead, do you think the site should just be deleted since they don't really have a website up? I couldn't find a current website at all. --Hourick 23:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moved Organization chart

Created/moved organization chart to its own page with a link in its original location.

Might do the same or create page with a merge/purge with other information that seems to just clutter up the article. I took a photo of HPD's HQ downtown recently and have pics of it's mounted police. I'll search my archives for it. --Hourick 23:39, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Completely unnecessary. Article isn't long enough to justify splitting into separate articles. I've moved it back. -- Necrothesp 08:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Houston Police Department patch.JPG

Image:Houston Police Department patch.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Spanish names

The Spanish names of the HPD police stations are in this document: "Guía de Padres Para SEGURIDAD DE NIÑOS EN EL INTERNET." (sic) - Houston Police Department WhisperToMe (talk) 19:39, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Officers Indicted or Arrested while employed by HPD

I need opinion as to whether or not this section is properly formatted AND appropriate to the article. Looking at the Los Angeles Police Department, New York City Police Department, and several other departments, only NYPD seems to have something remotely about disciplined officers, and even then, they were broken away to another article, then THEN broken down to a sub-sub article (Abner Louima). My feeling it that is isn't consistent with other articles of police departments, I would not be opposed to it being included in the History of the Houston Police Department in the appropriate section. I will leave the edit as it currently stands until a suitable amount of time for a discussion to take place, if none occurs, then I will revert and assimilate the information into the history article. --Hourick (talk) 19:38, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

Hello, my name is JoVanna and in my Public Administrations class I am required to choose a article to submit suggestions to. I chose your article because I am from Houston, Tx and the police department is something I find interesting. I found this article to be extremely informative. I do want to suggest that in the paragraph "The Academy, field training, and mentor program" you add some more information on what the lateral classes that were once held for other police agencies are and why they are no longer being held.
