On Thursday, Mayor Sylvester Turner stood with new Houston Police Chief Troy Finner and other city leaders to announce new policies intended to reform policing in the city of Houston.

The new changes were developed by the Mayor's Task Force on Policing Reform, which is comprised of 45 people who are focused on "finding actionable ways to help the police department improve its crisis aversion methods and promote community policing," per Chloe Alexander at KHOU.

Houston Mayor Hopes New Police Reforms Will Increase Community Engagement

Apr 29, 2021
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner's police reforms include changes he hopes will increase community engagement. Turner announced today Prairie View A&M Ruth J. Simmons Center For Race and Justice's will be doing major outreach to people on police issues. Other changes include letting people submit police complaints online and through community groups like the NAACP and LULAC. The Independent Police Officer Board is being restructured and given a full-time paid investigative staff in hopes of providing more accountability. The changes are being done after recommendations from the Mayor's Task Force on Policing Reform. Turner noted he's hoping the Texas Legislature will start providing more mental health funding to help people with issues not get into a crisis.

Houston Mayor Outlines Police Reform Next Steps

Effective immediately by executive order of Mayor Sylvester Turner, body camera footage from all police-involved shootings which involves a display of excessive force or the death of someone in custody, will be made public within 30 days.
However, to the expected disappointment of many in the community, that change in policy will not be retroactive meaning it will not include any video of disputed and controversial encounters between police and civilians such as occurred with the Harding Street Raid in which two people were killed.
He began the press conference by referencing his executive order on June 10, 2020 which came the day after George Floyd's funeral, in which he banned "excessive use of force, banning chokeholds, requiring that officers have a duty to intervene, restricting when officers can shoot at moving vehicles" among other matters.

BLM, George Floyd mural unveiled at Houston school

Officials in Houston on Saturday dedicated a massive Black Lives Matter mural to George Floyd in front of the high school he attended.
Floyd, who died in May after former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee to Floyd's neck for roughly nine minutes, has inspired dozens of street murals and memorial images around the country amid nationwide rallies for racial justice.
This Houston mural, which spans two blocks in front of Jack Yates High School, was designed by Jonah Elijah, an alumni and visual artist. About 25 volunteers, including city employees and art students from the school, helped create the mural over the course of three days, he said.
