The Department of Justice has awarded the City of Houston a $1 million dollar grant to fight crime in Southwest Houston. The name of the program makes you think: Weed and Seed Program; sort of like a play on words.
The grant will be doled out over the next five years with half going toward police activities — primarily overtime pay for officers. The rest will fund programs to assist area residents, like job training and child care, officials said.

HPD is understaffed...they advertise it on television that they'll pretty much hire ANYBODY...HPD this is for you. Your not doing your job right b/c everybody in houston grinds their teeth whenever they see a patrol car. I hope they stay understaffed, it wouldn't suprise me if they did. nobody wants to be a cop b/c everybody hates 'em, and they get paid nothing.....with an understaffed police force there might be less murders in SW Houston, get it? and for the Department of Justice, why give $500,000 to HPD in the SW? Would they give 500,000 to the LTC? NO, and good thing they don't. but dont they know HPD is just another 3 letter gang. Precinct 5 is ganna have a ball w/ their share of the loot....why not just give the whole million to assisting area residents in fields like job training and child care.
