Memorial Villages 2022 Twinkle Light Parade Prequel - YouTube
From the
Desk of Chief Ray Schultz,
All of us
her at the MVPD hope that everyone had a good Thanksgiving Holiday and enjoyed
the extra-long weekend because of the Houston water emergency. One of the
things that we learned during the water event was many residents heard about
the boil water notice from friends and neighbors and those folks had learned
about it from the V-Linc notices. That is when they realized that they had
unsubscribed from V-Linc. We have been busy this week reactivating accounts for
residents who have requested their accounts to be turned back on. If you need your account reactivated, please
contact Officer Larry Boggus at lboggus@mvpdtx.org and he will assist in getting you
back on-line. New residents can register for V-Linc at www.mvpdtx.org
As part of
the V-Linc system we have the ability to also send out SMS messages for
emergencies. We used that option this week for the water boil but many of the
text messages bounced back. The reason for the bounce backs was due to the
registrations not including the cell phone provider information. We are working with our V-Linc system corporate
team to obtain a list of bounced text messages and to determine how best to
rectify the issue. More on that in the
near future.
The last R.A.D.
class for 2022 is set for December 14 – 16th, 2022 from 10 am – 2 pm
each day. Classes will be at Chapelwood
Church located at 11140 Greenbay in Piney Point. There are still a few openings
for participants. This is our yearly
mother/daughter class so if you are interested, don’t let this opportunity slip
by. Contact Officer Michelle Owens at mowens@mvpdtx.org to reserve your spot and to learn
more about the training.
Twinkle
Light Parade. December 15th beginning at 6 pm. In just under 2 weeks, we will be having the
2022 Annual Twinkle Light Parade. This year the parade will be even bigger and
better. The parade route will be longer
traveling along Taylorcrest to Piney Point Road and then South to Memorial
where a right turn will take the parade to MDPC for a holiday celebration. We
expect to arrive at MDPC around 7:20 where there will be Christmas Caroling,
Hot Chocolate and all the floats will be on display. Of course, Santa will be
there as well. As always,
we encourage residents to line up along the parade route, enjoy the parade and
meet your neighbors. Both organized and spontaneous street parties are welcomed
along the route. Last year we no less than 15 groups of residents enjoying time
with their neighbors and friends. We saw a few bonfires, people dressed up in
their Christmas “sweaters”, kids playing and many people enjoying adult
beverages, and snacks. There are a few opportunities for a float or
two to join us. If you are interested check out the rules (attached) and
contact Ms. Karen Glynn for more information at KGlynn@bunkerhilltx.gov See the prequel video for the upcoming parade.

Criminal
Investigations Division case update. Detectives this week have been following
up on a recent vehicle burglary where a wallet was taken. Detectives were able
to locate video of the suspects attempting to use one of the stolen credit
cards at an area business. Using video from the business, officers were able to
identify a vehicle. A follow up with the
vehicle owner found that the owner had loaned the car to his mother who was
visiting from out of town. When they showed him the picture of the suspect, he
was surprised to see his mother as our suspect. Needless to say, we think that
Christmas will be a little uncomfortable this year at his house, that is if mom
is available? More to come on this case
as detectives work with the DA’s Office on obtaining a warrant for our
suspects.
Thanks to
the residents who this week stopped by and dropped off food, cookies, and an
ice cooler full of wild game meat, sausage, and jerky. Also, this weekend we
have 2 MVPD families attending the Texans game. Thank You
The front of
the station continues to grow with more Holiday decorations showing up almost
daily. Please feel free to stop by and see the inflatables set up out front as
the attached photo showing one family do this week. Enjoy
Daily
Holiday photos will be shared on our Facebook page today. Follow us on Facebook
to see more. Memorial Villages Police Department | Facebook Also check out the really cool
Christmas Holiday Light Video.
Where’s
Stormy? As we talked about several weeks ago, we are starting our “Help get Stormy
back to the MVPD” contest. This summer
at an area rock painting event, children painted several rocks that included
renditions of Stormy, the MVPD station service dog. We have hidden one of those rocks in the
villages. We will provide clues to where Story can be found. If you find the Stormy
Rock, return her to the MVPD (Lobby) and we will give you a reward of a Stuffed
Stormy Pet Doll for bringing her back.
Stormy will only be on public property or on public right-of-way. So
please don’t look for her on private property. Good Luck!
Clue: Stormy
went out for a walk and went to city hall. She didn’t go to a Hill, and she
didn’t go to a Point. Someone said they saw her up in the Creek. Once she got
there, she looked for a dog’s favorite place, what could it be? It wasn’t a
fire hydrant, just a simple tree. She is
still there sitting on the ground just waiting to be found.
Have a great
weekend. Don’t forget to remain aware of your surroundings as you venture out and
always keep your car doors locked. Chief Ray Schultz rschultz@mvpdtx.org
