Activities and Recommendations

Chapter Business and Committee Activities:

Mike Crocker, CPP, CSC announced exciting things going on in the Region and that ASIS, International is becoming active in setting Security Standards as opposed to just Guidelines -- this was extremely welcome news to the membership who had long been urging ASIS, International to come out with Security Standards. The Chapter\\\'s Annual Seminar Co-Chair announced that the Two Day Seminar would be in one of the two last weeks of October and that it was solicting input from the membership on what topics they would find valuable to receive instruction on. Mike Mason again reminded everyone of the Chapter\\\'s job postings. It was announced that at the July meeting we should have the exact figures on our Annual Golf Tournament for scholarships for Security Management and/or Criminal Justice Students at local universities and for Law Students at South Texas College of Law who desire to become prosecutors. The monthly Officer of the Month Award was presented to Houston Police Officer Wade L. Smalley whose courageous actions and perseverance resulted in the capture of two armed serial Bank Robbers. Officer Smalley was dispatched to a robbery in progress call at the Wells Fargo Bank located at 11725 S. Sam Houston Parkway. As Officer Smalley approached the vicinity of the bank, he observed a green late model sedan run the stop sign at the intersection of Dickenson Road and the southbound service road of the Gulf Freeway. He noticed that the black male passenger was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and had a mask over his face, which immediately raised his suspicions. Officer Smalley determined that these were probably the Wells Fargo Bank robbery suspects, so he notified the police dispatcher and attempted to stop the vehicle as he already had his emergency equipment in operation. The suspects attempted to evade Officer Smalley’s attempt to stop them by increasing their speed. As the Officer pursued, the passenger extended his arm out of the vehicle and began firing a semi-automatic handgun at Officer Smalley. He swerved the patrol car onto a median to avoid being hit by the suspect’s bullets, but continued the pursuit. After U-turning and proceeding northbound on the Gulf Freeway service road, the suspect in the passenger seat climbed out onto the vehicle’s window sill and fired several additional shots at Officer Smalley, however he still continued his pursuit. The chase continued at a high rate of speed until the suspects drove into an apartment complex at 10909 Gulf Freeway and fled their vehicle on foot. With the help of several additional officers, canine units, a police helicopter, and the SWAT team, both suspects were later captured. It has been determined that these two individuals are responsible for at least eleven bank robberies in and around southeast Houston.
