From the Desk of Chief Ray Schultz,
Attention all residents. Late Thursday afternoon Village officials were notified that Center Point will be performing major electrical grid improvements beginning as early as today in the Hunters Creek area. A significant part of the work will occur along Memorial Drive that will result in temporary Road “Closures” over the next 4-6 weeks. Area’s that will be impacted are between Lindenwood and Voss Road. Closures will vary from alternating lanes being closed, to complete road closures (with detours). We are attempting to get a schedule of specific closures in order for us to be able to share those with you. In addition to installing new poles, in many places new overhead wires, transformers and switches will be installed. While this work is being performed along areas where sidewalks exist, those too will be closed to pedestrian traffic. In some areas, the new poles and wiring will include installation in the rear yards of some residences and will extend into neighborhoods both north and south of Memorial Drive. Thus far, we have been notified Memorial Drive, Kuhlman, Beinhorn, Creekside and Saddlewood will be directly impacted. We understand that this project will be disruptive to the area and we will work closely with Center Point to lessen the impact on the community. Please use extra caution when near work crews and follow their instructions. The end result of this work will ultimately result in a stronger electrical grid that will be more robust and able to remain intact during severe weather events.
Earlier this week officers, detectives and command staff responded to a Bomb Scare event at Kinkaid School. This was an “all available personnel on deck” situation for the MVPD. Most of our on-duty patrol personnel responded (we kept 2 officers in patrol for other emergencies) and all of our administrative, detective and support staff responded to the school. Kinkaid faculty did a great job initiating evacuation protocols for the campus and immediately quartered off the specific area of the threat. Officers assisted in the orderly evacuation of students, and assisted school staff in securing the campus. Command staff worked with the administration in assessing the situation, while detectives worked with the Texas Fusion Center in tracing the phone number. Immediate assistance was provided by both Spring Branch ISD PD and the Harris Couty Sheriff’s Office through the use of their bomb sniffing dogs. Within minutes of the situation occurring, and while working with school administration I received a phone call from HPD Chief Noe Diaz offering any additional support that we may need. Fortunately, the situation was determined to be false, but not without significant disruption to the school. MVPD detectives are aggressively following up on the incident and have already issued subpoenas for phone records involved in this incident. As a result of the call, we all learned a great deal about responding to these types of situations and through an after-action review, we will learn how we can be even better in the future. It also showed what a great support network we have here in the villages. Village Fire, Spring Branch ISD PD, Harris County Sheriff’s Office and Houston PD all assisted and offered any additional assistance needed. Our sincere thanks to these agencies for the help. Read more about the event below in the crime report.
Detectives Corner: Lots of Grand Jury subpoenas this week for bank and phone records including one to FedEx for account information on a large fraud case. Detectives are also following up on a case where the victim wants us to go through their attorney first? before talking to detectives.
On Thursday, village emergency planners, MVPD, VFD and City Managers attended workshops on hurricane planning for the 2026 season. Meetings included working with Center Point officials, Harris County OEM, and a plethora of support agencies who are all ready to respond should the area be hit with a significant weather event. We all feel confident that your Village Emergency Response Team is ready to address any adverse situation should one occur this season.
On Wednesday morning, St. Francis 5th graders graduated from the 2026 D.A.R.E. program. This was a huge milestone for the MVPD as D.A.R.E. has been absent from St. Francis for nearly 15 years. Our thanks and appreciation go out to the staff at St. Francis and to Officers Jeremy King and Michele Owens for bringing D.A.R.E. back to the classroom. The friendships that have been created between students, staff and our officers will last a lifetime. (Photo attached).
On Thursday, the Hunters Creek 2026 D.A.R.E. class graduated and held their traditional Hot Dog celebration and water-balloon toss at lunchtime. More D.A.R.E. graduations are coming next week as we wrap up the 2026 school year. (Photo attached).
Officer Boggus spent Thursday afternoon at The “Abbey” discussing targeted “Senior Citizen” scams. The scheduled 30-minute talk quickly extended to over an hour, and the attendance doubled as more residents joined in the discussion. More of these types of events will be scheduled throughout the summer.
Also, this week Officers Boggus and King met with scouts from Kinkaid and students from Westview High School for classes on the dangers of va**ng and police interactions.
Several residents have been asking us when the next R.A.D. Class will be held? The answer is June 17-19, 2026. Please review the attached flyer details on this class that will be afternoon sessions. Save your spot early as we are expecting this to be completely full class. Email officer Michele Owens at [email protected]
Attention all men and children. This Sunday is Mother’s Day. We are expecting a beautiful day across the area so please take some time and properly treat your Mother’s (and wives) to a special day. What Mom wants, Mom gets. Maybe allow her to sleep in a little extra while you straighten up the house, make breakfast, and then take her to church and for an extra nice dinner or make one yourself. None of the cooking or clean up should be done by “her”, remember it is her day.
And to all our mothers, “Happy Mother’s Day”.
