Background and Discussion:

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has been a Greater Harris County Event since 1932, and now draws approximately 2 million visitors during the rodeo season.  The Sheriff’s Office has provided the use of MOD K9 Teams during the event in 2019, 2022, and 2023.

 

Expected Impact:

The addition of the MOD K9 Teams will provide an added layer of security for patrons who attend the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo events at NRG Park.

 

Alternative Options:

While there are private companies who perform similar services, they do not have the immediate law enforcement response when confronting individuals suspected of carrying firearms or explosive devices.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

X Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing

_ Public Health

_ Transportation

_ Flooding

_ Environment

_ Governance and Customer Service
