Welcome to the Galveston Police Department web site.
On Wednesday, April 7, 2010, Officers of the Galveston Vice & Narcotics Division executed a search warrant at 2412 44th St. in the Mid-Town Community. This lengthy investigation was headed by Narcotics Detective Rene Vela. The Narcotics Division conducted many hours of surveillance and collecting evidence of illegal drug transactions. Officers witnessed a vehicle leave this address with one of the targets of this investigation and they followed it. Officers had prior knowledge that the target had an outstanding felony warrant and the vehicle was stopped on traffic. Officers collected more evidence from the vehicle stopped and all 3 occupants were arrested. Detective Vela then made application for a search warrant, which was approved and signed by the Honorable Susan Criss of the 212th District Court of Galveston County.
Geography has a major influence on crime. The features and characteristics of cityscapes and rural landscapes can make it easier or more difficult for crime to occur. The placement of alleys, buildings and open spaces, for example, affects the likelihood that a criminal will strike.
Combining geographic data with police report data and then displaying the information on a map is an effective way to analyze where, how and why crime occurs.
