HOUSTON – KPRC 2 is embedding itself in our most historic neighborhoods with our new series ‘Our Town’ where we explore the communities that make our city so dynamic.
Our first stop on the 10 community tour was the Alief/Westwood area, which is known for making waves with its innovative initiatives and vibrant community spirit. We explored different businesses in the neighborhoods and spoke with one Houston Police Department officer about community policing in the area and the lessons that are being used citywide to reduce crime.
For our second stop, we’re hitting Sunnyside, which is located on the southeast side of town. This community is known for its rich history and resilient spirit.
