In my latest article, I interviewed Officer Mike McCoy of HPD who has started the Houston Police Department Recruiting Blog.

It’s no secret the Houston police are short around 1,000 officers, so the department is employing some out of the box thinking for such a huge organization and going straight to the potential recruits.
