Two suspects arrested after deputy assaulted in north Harris County
Two suspects were jailed after a deputy was assaulted in north Harris County, as Precinct 4 released photos and pushed residents toward its C4NOW alerts.
Two suspects were taken into custody after a deputy was assaulted in north Harris County, and Precinct 4 officials quickly used the case to steer residents toward their safety-alert tools.
The Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office released photos tied to the arrest and pointed residents to the C4NOW app, a service the office uses for public-safety alerts, weather notices and other neighborhood warnings. It also offers extra patrol requests and vacation watch requests, tools aimed at homes and businesses across north Harris County.
Precinct 4 says it serves more than 1 million people in north Harris County and operates with countywide jurisdiction across Harris County’s more than 4.8 million residents and 1,700 square miles. The office says its budget is nearly $103 million, a scale that reflects the broad law-enforcement and response role it plays from Spring to the rest of the county.
Constable Mark Herman has led the office since he was appointed in May 2015 and later elected in November 2016. The office says Herman won a third four-year term in 2024.
Patrol deputies in the Precinct 4 system handle emergency and non-emergency response, crime prevention, traffic enforcement and follow-up investigations. That means the office is not just responding after a crime, but also trying to spot repeating problems before they grow into broader threats for neighborhoods in north Harris County.
The office’s Special Operations Unit, created in 2016, was built to deter and respond to serial part 1 crimes, especially burglary and robbery, in north Harris County. For residents, that makes the Precinct 4 alerts system more than a news feed: it is a way to track patterns, request added patrols and flag concerns around a home, street or business.
Residents in Spring and other north Harris County communities can use the C4NOW app to receive alerts and public-safety information, and they can submit vacation watch requests before leaving town. Extra patrol requests can also be used when a block is dealing with suspicious activity, repeated car break-ins or other recurring problems.
