HPD’s Westside Division Commander Reece Hardy said their team has made more than 300 prostitution-related arrests in the area. The streets of Plainfield and Center Parkway, between Bissonnet and the Southwest Freeway, have been closed. Hardy says when those streets are opened, it creates a loop for those who are working in the area to circle around.
Business owners nearby say having the police close certain streets has reduced the amount of activity drastically.“We are looking at ways and strategies to be able to continue this moving forward,” Hardy added.In collaboration with businesses in the area, elected officials, other local agencies and concerned Houstonians, our officers are temporarily blocking off two streets every night.
