New HPD initiative to help fight road rage: 'We're going to be out there' KTRK Replay Video UP NEXT You may have been noticing more reports of road rage throughout the city of Houston, but the city has a plan of action to lower the violence that they say is already working. During a news conference held by the Houston Police Department on Thursday, authorities introduced a new initiative aimed at eliminating road rage. "It's become such a problem," said HPD Executive Assistant Chief Larry Satterwhite. It's a collaborative effort that involves several Houston-area law enforcement agencies, including the Harris County Sheriff's Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety. So far this year, Satterwhite said they've received 1,500 calls of reported road rage.
