Officer Richard Rodriguez

I am a native Houstonian and was born (Park Place Hospital) and raised in the Houston's Eastside. I am currently a Houston Police Officer with 16 years of service.  I attended Stephen F. Austin High School (Class of "81").  I attended several colleges which include: San Jacinto Jr College North, Houston Community College, Sam Houston University and University of Houston.


I have been involved with several organizations and committees. I am currently a Board Member with Navidad En El Barrio. I am also currently active with the following committees: Safety Committee Member-Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo, Gulfton Youth Development Steering Committee Member, Super Neighborhood (Gulfton) Police Liaison, City of Houston Census Speakers Bureau Committee, Federal Weed and Seed Police Liaison and Member of the Latino Peace Officer's Association.


While working in the Gulfton community, I had the pleasure to serve the children of the community by implementing a Bicycle Safety program in which over 3000 helmets and water bottles were given out to local 4th graders. With my experience as a community officer, I am glad to serve the thousands of children with gifts of toys and information, which each child receives from Navidad En El Barrio. The importance of helping the children of our community and making a difference for their future instills the importance of a role model. I invite any and everyone to come join us to make this difference.
