National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 📞

This week, we recognize the voice on the other end of the line—the calm in the chaos, the unseen first responder.

Our dispatchers are the lifeline between our officers and the community. They manage critical information, coordinate responses, and provide reassurance during some of the most stressful moments people experience.

Today, we want to highlight one of our own. Thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to keeping both our officers and citizens safe. Your work does not go unnoticed.

🚔 From all of us—thank you for what you do every single day.

🚨 What started as a simple traffic stop quickly turned into a vehicle pursuit and foot chase with an armed suspect.

On March 9, 2026, just before midnight, Cockrell Hill police officers attempted to stop a vehicle for speeding in the 4100 block of W. Jefferson Blvd. Instead of stopping, the driver fled, leading officers on a vehicle pursuit through the city.

The suspect drove recklessly, ran a stop sign, and ultimately crashed into a parked vehicle in the 400 block of Archer Ave.

After the crash, it appeared the suspect retrieved a firearm from his waistband as he exited the vehicle and fled on foot. There were three additional occupants inside the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Officers pursued the suspect on foot and observed him discard the firearm during the chase. An officer continued the pursuit, jumping a chain-link fence behind the suspect and giving verbal commands. The suspect eventually complied and was taken into custody with the assistance of another responding officer.

The handgun, a stolen G***k 19, was recovered at the scene.

The suspect was identified as Tahj Christian Myers (DOB 06/26/2005) and is facing the following charges:

• Evading Arrest/Detention with a Vehicle F-3
• Tampering with Physical Evidence F-3
• Collision Involving Damage to a Vehicle MB
• Theft of a Firearm SJF
• Unlawful Carry of a Weapon MA

We are proud of the professionalism and courage displayed by our officers during this dangerous incident. Their actions helped safely remove a stolen firearm from our community.

No injuries to officers or the suspect were reported.
