Sources: Houston Mayor John Whitmire on brink of announcing new HPD Chief
SUMMARY: The Houston Police Department is close to appointing a new chief, reportedly Mario Diaz, the current chief of the Katy Police Department. Sources indicate that Mayor John Whitmire has engaged in serious discussions with Diaz, a former Texas Ranger known for his integrity and professionalism. Former City Council member Mike Knox believes Diaz’s experience will benefit HPD, although he will need to adapt to new political dynamics. Katy officers have expressed disappointment at losing Diaz, acknowledging his impactful leadership. Diaz has not commented on these developments, and the appointment appears imminent, with โdone dealโ sentiments circulating among Katy’s police.
The front doors of the Katy Police Department are 30 miles away from those at the Houston Police Department, but according to multiple sources HPD is on the verge of welcoming a new police chief from Houston’s neighbor to the west.
