Chief Hurt mingles with
preachers
At the invitation of Theaster Maloy, Minister of The Fidelity COC and
Chairman of the Church of Christ Ministers and Leaders Alliance.
Houston Police Chief Harold Hurt and his entourage visited the regular
weekly preachers meeting and luncheon.
Wednesday at The Laura Koppe C O C, 6500 Laura Koppe Road, Houston, Texas,
where Bro. A. J. Adams serves as Minister. The meeting was called to order
by Bro. Maloy, after Singing, Scripture Reading and Prayer. A Biblical
presentation was delivered by Bro. Eddie Anderson of the Scenic Woods C O C
where, Bro. L. C. Parker serves as Minister.
Houston Police Chief Harold Hurt was introduced to the group to give his
presentation. The chief begin with a brief biography of himself and
continued with his plan to improve Police response and protection for the
citizens of Houston. Then he opened the floor for questions, to his surprise
and approval, hard balls were served up for him, to take a swing at.
(Question) “Why is the City laying off, lower paid city workers and
replacing them with higher paid police officers, Taking them from patrolling
positions to non-patrolling positions?”
(Answer) “Because they are trained officers, in case of emergency, they can
be pulled off the non-patrolling jobs and placed where needed on the
streets”.
(Question) “What if one of our Church members or a member of their family,
have been accused of committing a heinous crime and call the Minister to aid
them in safely turning themselves in, what are we to do?”
(Answer) “I am glade you ask that question. Do not try to bring them in
yourselves. You should stay where you are, at the Church or wherever you
are. Call my office, we will assign you to a Captain and he will instruct
you want to do. Stay where you are and we will come and get you”.
The question was not asked, “If the Preacher could take the ride with the
accused?” We hope that he can. After the question and answer period was over
lunch was served.
